Reaction Steps

1,1-Dimethylethyl 4-[[4-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-1-piperidinyl]methyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylate (1.0 g) was added to a mixture of 20% TFA in dichloromethane (20 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Solvent was removed by evaporation and 2M sodium hydroxide solution (25 mL) was added to the residue. Product was extracted with ethyl acetate.
