Reaction Steps

To a solution of 65 mg of 1-(S)-(1-(R)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)ethoxy)-2-(R)-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(R)-((methylamino)methyl)cyclopentane from Example 18, Step B in 1 mL of acetonitrile was added 0.019 mL of methyl 4-chlorobutyrate and 0.037 mL of DIPEA. The reaction was heated at 50° C. for 48 hours, then an additional 0.038 mL of methyl 4-chlorobutyrate, 0.074 mL of DIPEA and 3 mg of tetrabutylammonium iodide were added and heating continued at 70° C. for 48 hours. The reaction was evaporated under a stream of nitrogen and the residue purified by prep TLC (10% methanol in ethyl acetate) to give 41 mg of title compound and 17 mg of recovered starting material. Mass spec (ESI): 564 (M+1).
