Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Aqueous 1 M sodium hydroxide solution (196 ml) was added to a THF (200 ml)/methanol (50 ml) mixed solution of tert-butyl 4-{2-[3-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]ethyl}-1-piperidinecarboxylate (45.4 g), followed by stirring at 60° C. for 2 hours. The organic solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and under ice cooling, 0.5 M hydrochloric acid (400 ml) was added to the residue. The reaction liquid was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to obtain 3-{2-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-piperidinyl]ethyl}benzoic acid (43.5 g) was obtained.
