1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid {2-oxo-2-[4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethyl}-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIPEA (186 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (60 mg, 0.32 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) followed by HOBt (47 mg, 0.35 mmol) and EDCI (153 mg, 0.8 mmol). After 2 minutes of stirring, 2-amino-1-[4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethanone hydrochloride (119 mg, 0.35 mmol) (prepared according to Step 1 and 5 of the General Scheme) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with cold water, the solid was collected to afford the 129 mg (86% Yield) of 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid {2-oxo-2-[4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethyl}-amide.
