Pyridine → HCID 22141371, Verbindung

To a solution of 3-[6-methyl-3-(3-phenylpropyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-yl]phenylamine (Preparation 8, 110 mg, 0.36 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 ml), at 0° C. under nitrogen was added pyridine (56 μl, 0.72 mmol) then dropwise over 5 minutes ethanesulfonylchloride (67 μl, 92 mg , 0.72 mmol). The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred for 16 hours. Further pyridine (56 μl, 0.72 mmol) and ethanesulfonylchloride (67 μl, 92 mg , 0.72 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The crude mixture was purified by silica (40 g) column chromatography eluting with 80:20:1 ethyl acetate:hexane:ammonia solution (0.880). Product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a colourless oil (48 mg, 34%).
