Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 4-acetamido-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (2.04 g, 5.78 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL) was treated with 5 N NaOH (aq) (23.13 mL, 116 mmol), and the mixture was heated at reflux for two days. During the reflux, a colorless, soapy solid predipitated. Water was added until a clear solution was observed. The ethanol was removed under reduced pressure, and the aqueous mixture was extracted 4× with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in-vacuo to yield the title compound (1.28 g, 5.36 mmol, 93% yield) as a colorless powder. MS (ESI+)=239, (M+H)+.
