Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate in DMF were added K2CO3 and piperidine, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., and water was added thereto, followed by extraction with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:EtOAc=100:0 to 90:10) to obtain methyl 4-piperidin-1-yl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate as a colorless oily substance.
