Diisopropylethylamine → (1-{1-[5-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl]-methanoyl}-piperidin-2-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirring solution of 5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2-methyl-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (3.00 g, 12.5 mmol) in DMF (50 ml), under argon was treated sequentially with N,N-diisopropylethylamine (6.8 ml), HATU (4.77 g, 12.5 mmol) then after stirring for 0.25 h, piperidin-2-yl-acetic acid methyl ester (Beckett et al, J. Med. Chem., 563, 1969) (1.83 g, 12.5 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature and was then diluted with water. The product was extracted into diethyl ether. The organic phase was washed with water (3×) and brine, was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo to afford the title compound as a yellow gum (4.00 g, 85%).
