Reaction Steps

Pivaloyl chloride (5.4 g, 45 mmol) was added to a mixture of 3-ethoxy-4-ethoxycarbonyl phenylacetic acid (10.0 g, 40 mmol), toluene (50 ml) and triethylamine (5.0 g, 49 mmol) at −5° C. and stirred for 1 hour. A solution of (S)-3-methyl-1-(2-piperidinophenyl)-1-butylamine (9.8 g, 40 mmol) in toluene (20 ml) was then added at below 10° C. The temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to 30° C. and the mixture stirred overnight. It was then washed with water and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. Toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure to get the crude product. The crude product was dissolved in toluene (35 ml), hexane (200 ml) was added and the mixture cooled at 0° C. The solid product so obtained was filtered and dried to give 14.0 g of the title compound (Yield: 73%, HPLC Purity 99%).
