Reaction Steps

A mixture of the above described [1-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-carbamic acid ethyl ester (2.35 g, 10 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) with lithium aluminum hydride (913 mg, 24 mmol) was refluxed for 16 h. Cooled to 0° C., added water (0.913 mL), then at 23° C. 15% NaOH solution (2.739 mL), then again water (0.913 mL), stirred at 23° C. for 30 min, filtered the solid off, washed with tetrahydrofuran, the filtrate was evaporated to give the title compound as a colorless oil (1.80 g, 100%); MS: m/e=187.2 (M+H+).
