Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-(4-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopiperidin-1-yl)-cinnamic acid ethyl ester (2.7 g, 7.2 mmol) obtained in Example 8(1) was dissolved in ethanol (40 ml), and a 4M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (3.6 ml) was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed under heat for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and water (40 ml) was added thereto. The mixture was neutralized with 10% citric acid aqueous solution, and the precipitate was collected by filtration, thereby obtaining 4-(4-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopiperidin-1-yl)-cinnamic acid (1.9 g, 77%) as a white solid.
