Steps:

9.d Preparation of Compound 9 in Table 2

d) 4-(4-Methylphenylsulphonyloxymethyl)-1-tert-butyloxycarbonylpiperidine (40 g, 0.11 mol) was added to a suspension of ethyl 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoate (19.6 g, 0.1 mol) and potassium carbonate (28 g, 0.2 mol) in dry dimethylformamide (200 ml) and the reaction was heated at 95° C. for 2.5 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, partitioned between water and ethyl acetate/diethyl ether, before the organic layer was washed with water and brine. Solvent evaporation in vacuo afforded a clear oil which crystallized on standing. Washing with isohexane and drying in vacuo yielded ethyl 3-methoxy-4-(1-tert-butyloxycarbonylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)benzoate (35 g, 89%) as a white solid: m.p. 81-83° C.: ¹H NMR (CDCl₃): 7.65 (d, 1H), 7.55 (s, 1H), 6.85 (d, 1H), 4.35 (q, 2H), 4.05-4.25 (s, 2H), 3.95 (s, 3H), 3.9 (d, 2H), 2.75 (t, 2H), 2.00-2.15 (m, 2H), 1.80-1.90 (d, 2H), 1.48 (s, 9H), 1.40 (t, 3H), 1.20-1.35 (m, 2H): MS (+ve ESI): 416 (M+Na)³⁰ :
