Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,4S)-1-tert-butyl 3-methyl 4-((S)-1-phenylethylamino)piperidine-1,3-dicarboxylate (47 g, 0.13 mol, See: S. S. Ko, et al, WO PCT 2002002525 for preparation of the enantiomer of this compound) in anhydrous ether (500 mL) at 0° C. was added 1M-LAH (100 mL, 0.1 mol) dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at 0˜15° C. for 3 h. The reaction was quenched with a portion-wise adition of Na2SO4.10H2O (excess) and stirring for 1 h at rt. It was filtered through Celite and the solvent was evaporated off to give (3R,4S)-tert-butyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-((S)-1-phenylethylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate (quantitative yield).
