Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate 69 (0.9 g, 3.67 mmol, WO 2009/87649 A1) in THF (28 mL) were added N-hydroxyphthalimide (0.9 g, 5.51 mmol), triphenylphosphine (1.44 g. 5.51 mmol) and DIAD (1.07 mL, 5.51 mmol) sequentially at 0° C. under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and at room temperature for 16 h. Solvent was evaporated off and the residue was subjected to chromatography to give 70 (0.69 g, 48%) as a white solid.
