Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution of 2.5 g (6.25 mmol) of 1-[2-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)ethyl]-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)piperazine (prepared by path II), is added, under argon, 0.36 g (9.36 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride. The suspension is stirred overnight at room temperature. Hydrolysis is performed at 0° C. by slow addition of 0.35 mL of water, 0.35 mL of 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 1.0 mL of water. The slurry is stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature then magnesium sulfate is added. The mixture is filtered and the salts are washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to give 2.0 g (89%) of 1-[2-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)ethyl]-4-(3-hydroxymethylphenyl)piperazine as a solid.
