Sodium Bicarbonate → N-(3-{6-methyl-3-[3-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)propanoyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-yl}phenyl)methanesulfonamide

To a solution of 3-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)propanoic acid (J. W. McFarland et al., J. Med. Chem., 1970, 13, 113, 200 mg, 1.17 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 ml) was added 1-hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (200 mg, 1.31 mmol) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (340 mg, 1.77 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 10 min, the mixture was treated with the hydrochloride salt of N-[3-(6-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-yl)phenyl]methanesulfonamide (Preparation 53, 400 mg, 1.32 mmol) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (200 mg, 2.38 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then concentrated in vacuo. Water (10 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×15 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (10 ml), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo to afford 620 mg of a brown oil. This was purified by chromatography using a Biotage Flash 12™ cartridge packed with silica gel (8 g) eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (100:0 to 0:100 over 30 min) and then with ethyl acetate:methanol (100:0 to 0:100 over 5 min) to afford the title compound as a colourless oil (244 mg, 50%).
