Reaction Steps

A mixture of the product from Example 283 (0.1 g, 0.406 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.112 g, 0.812 mmol) in acetone (3 ml) at −78° C. was treated with 4-iodomethylpiperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Villalobos, A; et al, J. Med. Chem., 1994, 37(17), 2721) (0.145 g, 0.447 mmol) and heated at reflux for 18 hours. A further portion of 4-iodomethylpiperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.145 g, 0.447 mmol) was then added and the heating continued for a further 6 hours. The reaction was then cooled, poured into water, extracted with dichloromethane, dried with NaSO4 and reduced. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate to afford the title compound, (0.071 g, 39%); MS (ES+) m/e 444 [M+H]+.
