Reaction Steps

To a solution of dimethyl 2-(2,5-difluorobenzyl)piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate (8.08 g, 24.69 mmol) in acetonitrile (85 mL) and water (1.7 mL) was added lithium bromide (4.95 mL, 197.48 mmol) and triethylamine (13.69 mL, 98.74 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 2.5 h, then allowed to cool to room temperature. Water (150 mL) and MTBE (300 mL) was added. The aqueous phase was separated and the organic phase was extracted twice with water. The water phases were combined and 4.0 M HCl was added until a pH of 1 was obtained. The aqueous was extracted with MTBE (300 mL×2). The organic phases were combined, washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-(2,5-difluorobenzyl)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (7.4 g, 96%).
