Reaction Steps

(R)-1-[6-(4-tert-Butyl-cyclohexyloxy)-naphthalen-2-ylmethyl]-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (363.4 mg, 0.8046 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (5 mL, 80 mmol) then treated with 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide (5 mL, 5 mmol). The mixture was stirred vigorously for 18 hours. pH was adjusted to 3-4 with 3 N HCl and reaction was then extracted three times with ethyl acetate. Organics were combined then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Ethyl ether was then added and a white precipitate formed which was removed via filtration to give a white solid that 86% pure by HPLC. The process was repeated two additional times to give the title compound as a white solid (156 mg, 44%). EDI-MS: 424.2 (M+H)+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ=7.82 (s, 1H), 7.74-7.62 (m, 2H), 7.42 (d, J=2.3, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.08 (d, J=2.5, 1H), 4.43-4.34 (m, 1H), 4.33-4.22 (m, 2H), 2.71 (br. s., 1H), 2.16 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 2H), 1.88-167 (m, 4H), 1.40-1.25 (m, 3H), 1.24-1.11 (m, 4H), 1.10-0.95 (m, 5H), 0.79 (s, 9H)
