Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 1-(1,2-dioxo-3,3-dimethylpentyl)-2-piperidinecarboxylate (0.69 g; 2.43 mmol), 1 N LiOH (5 mL), and methanol (20 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and at room temperature overnight. The mixture was acidified to pH 1 with 1 N HCl, diluted with water, and extracted into 50 mL of methylene chloride. The organic extract was washed with brine and concentrated to deliver 0.61 g (98%) of snow-white solid which did not require further purification.
