Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.75 g (10 mmol) of 4-(2-[2-oxo-3-ethylcarboxypiperidin-5-yl]ethyl)benzoic acid, 2,2-dimethylethyl ester and 2.44 g (5.5 mmol) of phosphorus pentasulfide in 70 mL of tetrahydrofuran is heated at 60° C. until complete conversion is obtained. The mixture is evaporated to a residue which is purified by chromatography on silica gel, providing 4-(2-[2-thioxo-3-ethylcarboxypiperidin-5-yl]ethyl)benzoic acid, 2,2-dimethylethyl ester.
