Potassium trimethylsilanolate → Potassium [(2S)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2,5,5-trimethyl-6-oxopiperidin-1-yl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl [(2S)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2,5,5-trimethyl-6-oxopiperidin-1-yl]acetate from Step D (298 mg, 0.916 mmol) in THF (9 mL) at ambient temperature was added potassium trimethylsilanolate (147 mg, 1.14 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 24 hours and found to be incomplete by LCMS analysis. Additional quantities of potassium trimethylsilanolate were added as needed. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo to give a residue that required no further purification. MS: m/z=312 (M+1 for parent acid).
