To a solution of 4-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide (110.0 mmol, 55.0 mL of 2.0 M solution) in 150.0 mL THF at 0° C. was added 1-benzyl-4-piperidone (55.0 mmol, 10.2 mL) dropwise. The resulting solution was stirred under argon atmosphere for 1.5 h and then quenched with 100.0 mL of saturated NH4Cl solution. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 100.0 mL of Et2O. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, separated and dried over Na2SO4. The solution was filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a yellow oil which was purified by passing through a silica gel column with 4:1 hexane/EtOAc followed by 1:1 hexane/EtOAc as the eluting system. 1-Benzyl-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-piperdin-4-ol was obtained as a pale yellow oil in 89% yield (13.9 g). It was dissolved in 150.0 mL of toluene and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (50.0 mmol, 9.5 g) was added. The organic extracts were combined, washed with brine and the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain 1-benzyl-4-(fluoro-phenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine as a yellow viscous oil (12.0 g, 92% yield) which was used in the next step without further purification.
