Reaction Steps

A mixture of piperidine-1,3,3-tricarboxylic acid 1-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) 3-benzyl ester (3.9 g 8.8 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.83 g 13 mmol) and bromopinacolone (2.31 g 13 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (55 mL) is heated at 60° C. for 2 h. The mixture is cooled back to room temperature, neutralized with acetic acid (13 mmol) and concentrated under reduced pressure. the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water and concentrated. Cristallization in diethyl oxide gives piperidine-1,3,3-tricarboxylic acid 1-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) 3-benzyl 3-(3,3-dimethyl-2-oxobutyl)ester melting at 114° C.
