Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-formylpiperidine (10 g), malonic acid (4.2), pyridine (4 ml) and piperidine (0.4 ml) was heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The solution was washed with 2M HCl (2×100 ml), dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with isohexane to give the title compound, yield 13.5 g.
