Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[(3-cyano-benzyl)-(4-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-amino]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (see EXAMPLE 105) (484 mg, 1.1 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added OXONE® (680 mg, 1.1 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours. Work-up and purification afforded 4-[(3-cyano-benzyl)-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-amino]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (166 mg, 32%) as a white solid and 4-[(3-cyano-benzyl)-(4-methanesulfinyl-phenyl)-amino]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (264 mg, 53%) as a white solid.
