Procedure

A mixture of 1.0 g (3.41 mmol) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-3-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate, 471 mg (34.1 mmol, 10 eq.) of potassium carbonate and 607 ml (5.11 mmol, 1.5 eq.) of benzyl bromide in 30 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and at 80° C. for 15 hours. Subsequently, 471 mg (34.1 mmol, 10 eq.) of potassium carbonate and 607 ml (5.11 mmol, 1.5 eq.) of benzyl bromide were again added and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for a further 6 hours. The reaction mixture, cooled to room temperature, was poured into 300 ml of an ice/water mixture and extracted three times with 250 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phases were washed once with water and once with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulphate, evaporated under reduced pressure and dried in a high vacuum. The yellow oil (1.82 g) was separated on silica gel using an eluent gradient of 4:1 to 3:2 of a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as the eluent. There were obtained 620 mg (72% of theory) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-piperidine-1-carboxylate which, after recrystallization from a mixture of methylene chloride and hexane, gave 361 mg (28% of theory) as a white, crystalline product; MS: 383 (M)+.
