Abstract

The present invention is related to a novel intermediates and processes which are useful in the preparation of certain antihistaminic piperidine derivatives of the formula whereinW represents —C(═O)— or —CH(OH)—;R1 represents hydrogen or hydroxy;R2 represents hydrogen;R1 and R2 taken together form a second bond between the carbon atoms bearing R1 and R2;n is an integer of from 1 to 5;m is an integer 0 or 1;R3 is —COOH or —COOalkyl wherein the alkyl moiety has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and is straight or branched each of A is hydrogen or hydroxy; andpharmaceutically acceptable salts and individual optical isomers thereof,with the proviso that where R1 and R2 are taken together to form a second bond between the carbon atoms bearingR1 and R2 or where R1represented hydroxy, n is an integer 0.
