Procedure

A mixture of 4-(3-bromophenyl)-1-N-Boc piperidine (430 mg, 1.26 mmol), formic acid (5 mL) and formaldehyde (0.5 mL) was heated under microwave irradiation at 150° C. for 10 minutes. The cooled reaction mixture was loaded onto a 70 g SCX-2 cartridge which was washed with methanol (200 mL) and then eluted with 2N ammonia in methanol (200 mL). Concentration of the combined basic fractions in vacuo afforded the title compound (318 mg, 99%) as a brown oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): 7.38-7.36 (m, 1H); 7.35-7.29 (m, 1H); 7.17-7.14 (m, 2H); 3.03-2.92 (m, 2H); 2.52-2.37 (m, 1H); 2.32 (s, 3H); 2.10-1.99 (m, 2H); 1.87-1.69 (m, 4H).
