Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 16b (5.2 g, 12.8 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (30 ml) and 4 M aqueous sodium hydroxide (30 ml, 120 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 6.5 hours and then stored at 0° C. overnight. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (10 ml) was added dropwise at 0° C. and the mixture was then adjusted to pH˜4 with 1 M hydrochloric acid. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (500 ml) and the aqueous phase was acidified to pH˜3 and re-extracted with ethyl acetate. Both ethyl acetate layers were combined and washed with water and brine and then dried and concentrated to afford [1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(3-chlorophenyl) piperidin-4-yl](cyano)acetic acid (16c) as a rigid foam (3.75 g, 77%). This material was used without further purification.
