Procedure

To a stirred mixture of ethyl 4-(1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-2-oxobutyrate (17 g), acetic acid (4.5 g) and ethanol (30 ml) is added sodium cyanoborohydride (3 g) at room temperature. After stirring for 3 hours at room temperature, the mixture is diluted with water (500 ml) and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic extract is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexane-ethyl acetate (2:1-1:1) as an eluent to give ethyl 4-(1-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-piperidyl)-2-hydroxybutyrate (11.5 g) as a colorless oil.
