Reaction Steps

To the solution of [2-(9-oxa-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl)ethyl]carbamic acid tert-butyl ester generated in Example 3 (Alternative III) above (assumed 24.15 g, 1.0 mol eq., 1.0 wt./vol.) in a mixture of toluene (approx. 100 mL), ethanol (approx. 200 mL) and water (approx. 14 mL), was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (18.58 g, 1.5 mol eq.). Solid 3-(4-cyanoanilino)propyl-4-benzenesulfonate (28.17 g, 1.0 mol eq., see step (a) above) was added and the combined mixture was heated to 70° C. for six hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC using a silica plate with mobile phase X:DCM 1:1 v/v (in which X is chloroform:methanol:concentrated ammonia 80:18:2 v/v). Visualisation was by UV light (254 nm) and by staining with aqueous potassium permanganate. This showed the complete disappearance of starting material and the appearance of the title compound. The reaction mixture was cooled, and the solvent was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between toluene (200 mL) and water (200 mL). The layers were separated, and the organic phase was concentrated in vacuo to afford a yellow solid (38.6 g). This was dissolved in iso-propanol (190 mL, 5.0 rel. vol.) at 60° C., and the hot solution was filtered. The filtrate was stirred, and left to cool to room temperature. A white solid crystallised. The mixture was cooled from room temperature to approximately 8° C. The product was collected by filtration and was washed with iso-propanol (50 mL, 2.0 vol.). The damp product was dried in vacuo at 40° C. to constant weight to give the title compound as a white crystalline solid (30.96 g, 81%).
