Reaction Steps

Trans-methyl 4-(3-ethoxy-3-oxopropanoyl)-2-(3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (0.781 g, 1.80 mmol) (from example 140, step 1) was dissolved in MeOH (15 mL) and cooled to −40° C. Sodium hydroxide (0.072 g, 1.80 mmol) dissolved in water (1 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, 0.12 mL, 1.96 mmol) was added over 1 min and stirring continued at −40° C. for 2 h 15 min. The reaction mixture was then transferred into a prewarmed (80° C.) solution of 6 M hydrogen chloride (30 mL, 180.00 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. Crude trans-methyl 2-(3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzyl)-4-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (678 mg, 94%) was isolated as an off-white foam. MS m/z 403 (M+H)+
