Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (cis)-4-aminomethyl-3-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (0.1 g, 378 mmol) and 2-fluoropyridine (0.25 mL) was heated to 120° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent evaporated to give a (cis)-3-hydroxy-4-(pyridin-2-ylaminomethyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester crude product, which was purified by flash column chromatography (50% EtOAc hexane to 5% MeOH EtOAc). M.S (M+1): 342
