Procedure

tert-Butyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate (1 g, 3.13 mmol) and piperidin-4-ylmethanol (0.361 g, 3.13 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (25 mL). K2CO3 (1.300 g, 9.40 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 20 min. The reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature, filtered and evaporated. The resulting solid was partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 mL) and 1 M HCl (50 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was washed with ethyl acetate and the organic layers were discarded. The aqueous layer was basified with 8 M NaOH to pH˜10 and extracted 2 times with 50 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine and dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. tert-Butyl 4-((4-(hydroxymethyl)piperidin-1-yl)methyl)benzoate (0.95 g, 2.99 mmol, 95% yield) was isolated as yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ 7.95 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 2H), 7.39 (d, J=8.08 Hz, 2H), 3.56 (s, 2H), 3.51 (d, J=6.57 Hz, 2H), 2.90 (d, J=11.37 Hz, 2H), 1.94-2.04 (m, 2H), 1.73 (d, J=14.15 Hz, 2H), 1.61 (s, 9H), 1.40-1.56 (m, 2H), 1.30-1.37 (m, 2H); LC-MS Rt=0.67 min; MS (ESI): 306.2 [M+H]+.
