Participants

Reaction Steps

6.5 mg of the (2R)-N-[1-(3-nitrobenzyl)piperidin-4-yl]-2-[(1R)-3,3-difluorocyclopentyl]-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamide as obtained in above step 1 was heated to 60° C. together with 2 mg of iron powder in aqueous ethanol. After adding thereto 1 drop of conc. hydrochloric acid, the heating was continued at 100° C. for about 1 hour under stirring. The reaction mixture was made basic with 4N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to provide 4.8 mg of the title compound as a white solid.
