Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 15289505, compound

To a stirred solution of 3-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]propionitrile (3.51 g, 13.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) it anhydrous THF (20 mL) under argon was added a solution of BH3 in THF (1.0 M, 46.4 mL, 3.5 equiv) at room temperature. The mixture was refluxed for 4.5 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Aqueous HCl (6 N, 30 mL) was added and stirring was continued for 2 hours at 55-60° C. The mixture was basified to pH 9 by addition of 6 N aq. NaOH and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×150 mL)). The combined organic solutions were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and treated with HCl in ether (1.0 M, 27.7 mL, 2.1 equiv). The solvents were removed, ether (60 mL) was added, the mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with ether (2×20 mL). Water (40 mL) was added to the resulting white solid, the pH was adjusted to 10 with 1 M NaOH, and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×80 mL). The combined organic solutions were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give 3.10 g (87%) of white solid, which was characterized spectroscopically.
