Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (1.58 g, 41.64 mmol) was suspended in THF (30 ml), to which absolution of ethyl 1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate prepared in Reference Example 30 (3.18 g, 10.41 mmol) in THF (10 ml) was added dropwise therein while cooling in an ice-bath under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Water and 10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were added to the reaction mixture, which was filtered through Celite. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The extract was washed with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford [1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-piperidin-4-yl]methanol (2.64 g, yield 98%) as a pale yellow oil.
