The mixture of 0.124 g of benzyl 3-[4-(3-methoxypropyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-6-ylmethoxy]-4-(4-trifluoromethanesulphonyloxyphenyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (Example 265b), 0.0305 g of N-methylpent-4-ynecarboxamide, 0.0797 g of N,N-diisopropylethylamine, 0.0136 g of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride, 0.0038 g of copper(I) iodide and 1.0 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide is stirred under argon at 45° C. over 36 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled, poured onto saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml). The combined organic phases are washed with brine (30 ml), dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by evaporation. The title compound is obtained as a yellowish oil from the residue by means of flash chromatography (SiO2 60F). Rf=0.23 (EtOAc); Rt=4.86.
