Procedure: In 10 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was dissolved 1.50 g (6.32 mmol) of N-benzoyl-4-chloromethylpiperidine (D). The resulting solution was cooled to 5° C. and thereto was added 1.36 g (25.28 mmol) of sodium methoxide. After stirring at 60° C. for 4 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature and then poured into a mixed liquid of 40 ml of toluene and 40 ml of iced water. An organic layer was separated and dried over 2 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate and, thereafter, the solvent was removed by distillation. The residual liquid was subjected to silicagel column chromatography (stationary phase: 50 g of Silicagel 60 available from Merck KGaA). The fraction eluted with a hexane/ethyl acetate mixture (2:1 (v/v)) was collected.
