Ethyl 4-piperidinecarboxylate → Ethyl 1-(4-cyano-7-fluoro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-7-fluoro-5-methyl-6-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile (I-130) (0.20 g, 0.70 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml), then ethyl isonipecotate (0.12 ml, 0.78 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (0.15 ml, 0.88 mmol) were added, followed by heating under reflux for 3 hours. This was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane:methanol=100:1) to obtain a yellow oil (0.27 g, 94%).
