Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1-oxo-2,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (46.0 g, 132 mmol) in DCM (260 mL) containing TFA (150 mL, 1.32 mol) was stirred vigorously at 0° C. for 15 min. The reaction mixture was then poured into NaOH (3 N, 200 mL) and the product extracted with DCM (3×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were then washed with water (100 mL) and brine (100 mL) and then dried over sodium sulfate. Filtration and evaporation afforded the title compound (22.14 g, 68%) as a white solid after trituration from ethyl acetate. MS: m/e=249.2 (M+H).
