Procedure

4-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-4-methoxy-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.108 g, 0.331 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (6 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL) was added slowly dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 2 hr as it warmed to room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and then redissolved in methylene chloride and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (2×10 mL). The pooled aqueous layers were extracted with methylene chloride (2×10 mL). The methylene chloride extracts were pooled, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-4-methoxy-piperidine as a clear oil (72 mg, 97%).
