Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-piperidin-4-ylbenzoic acid (0.5 g) and 36% formaldehyde in water (0.175 mL) in methanol (5 mL) was treated with sodium cyanoborohydride (0.13 g) and acetic acid (0.5 mL), stirred for 18 hours and concentrated. The concentrate was flash chromatographed on silica gel with 10% methanol/dichloromethane.
