Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve (S)-1-benzyl-2-(2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-piperazine (280 mg, 0.85 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL). Add ammonium formate (320 mg, 5.1 mmol) and palladium hydroxide (60 mg, 20 wt. % on carbon) and heat to reflux. After 5.5 h, filter the palladium hydroxide and concentrate the filtrate. Combine with Example 421 and purify by silica gel chromatography using 2N ammonia in methanol-methylene chloride (5%) and 7N ammonia in methanol-methylene chloride (20%) as the eluent to give 750 mg (81%) of the title compound: mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=241 (M+1). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 8.08 (d, 1H), 7.91 (d, 1H), 7.76 (d, 1H), 7.59–7.32 (m, 4H), 3.53 (br s, 2H), 3.22–3.09 (m, 1H), 3.08–2.98 (m, 1H), 2.98–2.73 (m, 3H), 2.71–2.53 (m, 3H), 2.31 (dd, 1H), 1.71–1.57 (m, 2H).
