To a solution of 4-(2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (7.62 g, 0.029 mol) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) at 0° C., a solution of n-BuLi (1.6 M in hexanes, 18.4 mL, 0.029 mol) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, then a solution of toluenesulfonyl chloride (5.26 g, 0.028 mol) in anhydrous THF (50 mL) was added by canula. The thick reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for 2 h. A solution of n-BuLi (1.6 M in hexanes, 18.4 mL, 0.029 mol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture heated at 60° C. for 2 h, then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was separated and washed with brine, then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography (Si—PPC, pentane:EtOAc; gradient from 100:0 to 20:80) to afford 4-oxetan-3-ylpiperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid (5.33 g, 75%). TFA (10 mL) was added to a solution of 4-oxetan-3-yl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (7.1 g, 0.029 mol) in DCM (100 mL) and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge (50 g), the cartridge was washed with MeOH before the desired product was eluted using 2 M NH3 in MeOH. The product was collected and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography (Si—PPC, DCM: 2 M NH3 in MeOH 100:0 to 98:2 to 95:5 to 90:10 to 85:15 to 80:20) to afford 4-Oxetan-3-ylpiperidine as a colourless oil which solidified on standing (2.05 g, 49%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 4.75 (dd, J=7.9, 6.0 Hz, 2H); 4.52-4.42 (m, 2H); 3.14-3.04 (m, 2H); 2.81-2.67 (m, 1H); 2.61 (td, J=12.2, 2.6 Hz, 2H); 1.85-1.68 (m, 1H); 1.60 (m, 2H) and 1.02 (qd, J=12.2, 4.0 Hz, 2H).
