Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(1-Cyclobutylpiperidin-4-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of (1-cyclobutyl piperidin-4-yl) acetic acid ethyl ester (652.9 mg, 2.90 mmol, obtained in above step), tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) and water (6.0 mL) cooled at 0° C. lithium hydroxide monohydrate (133 mg, 3.19 mmol) was added in a single lot. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled again to 0° C. and acidified with 2N hydrochloric acid to pH: 2-3. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the traces of water were removed by azeotropic distillation with toluene to obtain (1-cyclobutyl piperidin-4-yl) acetic acid (747.9 mg).
