Reaction Steps

A solution of (3S,4S)-tert-butyl 3-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (15.5 g, 61.4 mmol, intermediate D) in 270 mL of acteonitrile was chilled to 0° C. To the stirred solution was added bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminosulfur trifluoride 50% solution in toluene (Deoxo-fluor, 58.4 mL, 159 mmol) dropwise via addition funnel over 65 min. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C. and then allowed to come to rt and stirred for an additional 2 h. A saturated ammonium chloride solution (150 mL) was then added, and the mixture was extracted with two 150 mL portions of DCM. The organic layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to afford the crude product. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography (1.5 kg of silica) eluting with a gradient of 0-15% acetone in hexanes to afford 11.9 g (75%) of the desired (3S,4S)-tert-butyl 3-fluoro-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate. LC/MS RT (conditions B)=3.295 min, (M+H with loss of t-butyl and elimination of fluorine)+=220.0. 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ 7.15 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 6.83 (dt, J=8.6, 2.0 Hz, 2H), 4.59-4.48 (m, 1H), 4.47-4.37 (m, 1H), 4.23-4.12 (m, 1H), 2.88-2.68 (m, 3H), 1.96-1.84 (m, 1H), 1.80-1.66 (m, 1H), 1.51 (s, 9H).
