Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 0.82 g of sodium methylate in 20 ml of dimethylformamide was added a solution of 4-[2-(2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-acetylamino]-1-methoxy-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester in 10 ml of dimethylformamide at a temperature of 60° C. After stirring for 3 hours at 60° C., the reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was diluted with 10 ml of water, neutralized with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to yield 1.23 g of 3-(2,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]dec-3-en-2-one (compound C1) as a light brown resin. This material was triturated with diethyl ether/hexane, filtered and dried to afford a solid, mp: 176-177° C.
