A mixture of 3,6-dihydro-4-[4-amino-2-fluorophenyl]-1(2H)-pyridinecarboxylic acid 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (EXAMPLE 20, Step 3, 11.44 g) and 10% palladium-on-carbon (4 g) in methanol (400 mL) in four Parr bottles is shaken on the Parr apparatus under a hydrogen atmosphere at 40 psi for two hours, the catalyst is removed by filtration through Celite, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to give the 4-[4-amino-2-fluorophenyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 1,1-dimethylethyl ester intermediate. A mixture of this intermediate (11.17 g) and sodium bicarbonate (6.57 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (390 mL) is treated with benzyl chloroformate (5.86 mL), and the resulting mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 15 hours and washed with water (200 mL). The aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride (150 mL), and the combined organic phase is washed with saline (50 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product which is chromatographed on silica gel (70-230 mesh, 800 g), eluting with a gradient of ethyl acetate/hexane (15/85-25/75). Pooling and concentration of those fractions with an Rf=0.38 by TLC (ethyl acetate/hexane, 25/75) gives the title compound, mp 96-98° C.
