Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium bifluoride (1.22 g) and tetrabutylammonium dihydrogentrifluoride (472 mg) were added to tert-butyl 6-[(benzyloxy) methyl]-7-oxa-3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylate (2.50 g), followed by heating and stirring at 120° C. for 2 days. The reaction was diluted with chloroform and filtered through Celite. The residue obtained by concentration of the solvent under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane) to obtain tert-butyl 4-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-3-fluoro-4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (1.76 g).
