Participants

Reaction Steps

Mix 4-[(thiophene-2-yl)carbonyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (12.9 g, 43.67 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (80 mL) and stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Cool in an ice/water bath and dilute with ethyl ether. Collect the resulting solid by filtration, wash with ethyl acetate and recrystallize (methanol/ethyl ether) to give the title compound as an off-white solid; mp 186°-187° C.
