Sodium methanolate methanol → tert-butyl (3R,5S)-3-(1-hydroxy-2-methoxyethyl)-5-[{[1-(4-methoxybutyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbonyl}(2-methylpropyl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (3S,5R)-3-[{[1-(4-methoxybutyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbonyl}(2-methylpropyl)amino]-5-oxirane-2-ylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (200 mg) was dissolved in methanol (5 ml), 28% sodium methylate-methanol solution was added, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 6 hr. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1-1:0) was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the object product (157 mg).
