Reaction Steps

Methyl 1-Boc-4-oxo-3-piperidinecarboxylate from Step 1 above (3.86 g, 15 mmol) was combined with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (1.5 g, 12.2 mmol) and acetic acid (1.29 mL, 1.35 g, 22.5 mmol) in methanol (10 mL). Sodium cyanoborohydride (0.94 g, 15 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3.5 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue treated with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluted with 1:4, 1:2, and 3:5 EtOAc:hexane. The combined product fractions were evaporated to dryness in vacuo to give methyl 1-Boc-4-(2-hydroxymethylphenylamino)-3-piperidine carboxylate.
