Reaction Steps

2-Formyl-N-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-hydrazinecarboxamide (Example 64(a)) (2.5 g) was divided between S x 10 mL vials. Potassium hydroxide (5 mL, 1 M solution in methanol) was added to each vial and the reactions were heated at 90° C. for 35 minutes within a microwave. The combined products were acidified to pH6 with aqueous 2M hydrochloric acid and were then evaporated to dryness. Purification (SiO2, methanol:dichloromethane:acetic acid 15:85:1 as eluant) gave the sub-title compound as an oil (2.2 g).
