Reaction Steps

Cis-methyl 4-(3-ethoxy-3-oxopropanoyl)-2-(3-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (2.52 g, 5.81 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (20 mL) and cooled to −40° C. Sodium hydroxide (0.246 g, 6.15 mmol) dissolved in water (2.2 mL) was added over 1 min and the resulting solution was stirred at −40° C. for 20 min. Then hydroxylamine (50% by weight in water, 0.38 mL, 6.20 mmol) was added over 1 min and stirring continued at −40° C. for 2 h 20 min. The reaction mixture was then transferred into a prewarmed (80° C.) solution of 6 M hydrogen chloride (40 mL, 240.00 mmol) and the mixture was continued to be stirred at 80° C. for 1 h. Then cooled to room temperature. Methanol was evaporated, then water was added. Extracted three times with DCM. Combined organic layers dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The compound was purified by preparative HPLC in 3 injections on a XBridge C18 column (10 μm 250×50 ID mm) using a gradient of 0-35% Acetonitrile in H2O/MeCN/NH3 95/5/0.2 buffer over 25 minutes with a flow of 100 mL/min. Cis-methyl 2-(3-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-4-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (1.52 g, 65%) was isolated as a colorless foam. 1H NMR (600 MHz, cdcl3) δ 1.87-2.10 (m, 4H), 2.61-2.67 (m, 1H), 2.80-2.87 (m, 1H), 2.97-3.04 (m, 1H), 3.13-3.21 (m, 1H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 3.96-4.04 (m, 1H), 4.26-4.32 (m, 1H), 5.74 (s, 1H), 7.00 (d, 1H), 7.11-7.16 (m, 2H).
