Hydrochloric Acid → Tert-Butyl 4-[2-(4-carboxy-3-fluorophenoxymethyl)pyridin-5-yl]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-[2-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-fluorophenoxymethyl)pyridin-5-yl]piperidine-1-carboxylate (Example 9) (60 mg, 0.131 mmol) in ethanol (0.9 mL)-water (0.2 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (16 mg, 0.393 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, diluted with water, neutralized by the addition of 1N hydrochloric acid and then extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a white crystal (57 mg, quantitative yield).
