Procedure

To a stirred solution of 4-fluoro-piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 4-ethyl ester (0.9 mmol, 0.25 g), in anhydrous THF (3 mL) under N2 atmosphere, was added LiBH4 (2.0 mmol, 1.0 mL, 2N solution in THF) dropwise and reaction was stirred at room temperature for 10 h. The reaction was quenched with slow addition of water (1 mL) and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×5 mL), Organic layer was washed with water, (5 mL), brine (5 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on a SiO2 cartridge with 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide 4-fluoro-4-hydroxymethyl-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.182 g).
