Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (76 mg; 2 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of 4-(2,5-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-3-carboxyethyl-N-Boc piperidine (310 mg; 0.77 mmol) in THF (5 mL) under Ar at 0° C. After one hour, Na2SO4 decahydrate (500 mg; 1.55 mmol) was added carefully portionwise. The reaction mixture was stirred 2 h and the grey solid that formed during this time was removed by filtration through Celite®. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the product racemic trans-4-(2,5-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)-3-hydroxymethyl-N-Boc piperidine was isolated by flash chromatography (258 mg; 93%) as a white powder.
