Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-(Piperidin-1-ylsulfonyl)benzoic acid (7.00 g) was dissolved in THF (70 mL), and at 0° C., N,N′-carbodiimidazole (6.32 g) was added thereto and stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours. A solution prepared by dissolving sodium borohydride (1.97 g) in water (10 mL) was dropwise added to the reaction liquid, and then stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. Water was added thereto, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried with sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed through filtration, and the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=from 0% to 100%, gradient) to give the entitled compound (7.01 g, 100%) as a colorless oil.
