Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(3-methyl-2-nitro-phenyl)-piperidine (i) in THF is treated with lithium diisopropylamide (“LDA”) (1 eq), followed by diethyl oxalate (1.05 eq), at 0° C. The reaction is allowed to warm to room temperature over 90 min. The reaction is diluted with water and ether, partitioned, and the aqueous layer is washed with ether. The combined organic layers are dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Chromatography gives 3-(2-nitro-3-piperidin-1-yl-phenyl)-2-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester (ii).
