Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(5-methanesulfonyl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.00 g, 2.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in ethanol (18 mL) was added 4 M HCl in dioxane (3.52 mL, 14.1 mmol, 5.0 equiv) drop by drop and the reaction mixture stirred at 50° C. for 2 h. It was then cooled down to rt, poured into ice water and the pH adjusted to 9-10 by addition of a sat. solution of potassium carbonate. The solution was extracted six times with a mixture of dichloromethane/isopropanol (4:1). The combined organic layers were concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by crystallization from heptane to give 0.53 g (74%) of the title compound as colorless solid. MS (ISP): 256.2 [M+H]+.
