Reaction Steps

2M NaOH solution (1.25 ml, 2.5 mmol) was added to 4-[3-(4-methoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-phenoxy)-propyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester from Example E68.2 (340 mg, 0.87 mmol) in dioxan (10 ml) and the mixture was heated at 60° C. for 20 h. 2M NaOH solution (5 ml, 10 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 60° C. for 20 h then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel through an isolute (eluant; 1% acetic acid:9% methanol:90% dichloromethane) to yield the title compound (303 mg, 92%).
