Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7 g (1 eq) 4-phenyl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)piperidine bishydrochloride were added to a solution of 4.4 g (1.1 eq) tert-butyl-methyl(2-oxoethyl)carbamate in 70 ml methanol under a nitrogen atmosphere and the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min at 0° C. 3.62 g (2.5 eq) sodium cyanoboron hydride were then added and the mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. The reaction mixture obtained was adjusted to a pH of 5-6 with acetic acid and stirred for 14 h at room temperature. The reaction course was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (10% MeOH/CHCl3). Once the conversion was complete, the methanol was distilled off, saturated NaHCO3 solution was added and the mixture obtained was extracted with chloroform (3×50 ml) and the combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4. Following removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; 50% EtOAc/heptane). 8 g (89%) of product were obtained in the form of a red oil.
