Reaction Steps

((R*)-3-[1-((R)-2,3-Dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxine-2-carbonyl)piperidin-3-yl]benzoic acid methyl ester (54 mg, 0.147 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (4 ml) and cooled to 0° C. LiAlH4 (26 mg, 0.680 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. Water (1 ml), 1 M NaOH (1 ml) and again water (1 ml) were added slowly. The mixture was filtered through Celite and evaporated. Flash chromatography, using a gradient of heptane/EtOAc, gave 3.5 mg of the title compound.
