Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-(trifluoromethyl)spiro[3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4′-piperidine]dihydrochloride (475 mg, 1.43 mmol), 4-isopropoxy-3-methoxy-benzoic acid (361 mg, 1.72 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (232 mg, 1.72 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5.5 mL) at ambient temperature was added 3-(ethyliminomethyleneamino)-N,N-dimethyl-propan-1-amine (266 mg, 1.72 mmol) followed by 4-methylmorpholine (786 μL, 7.15 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. The mixture was poured into water and was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The organics were combined, washed with 0.1 N HCl, 1N NaOH, water, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography (0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give (4-isopropoxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)-[6-(trifluoromethyl)spiro[3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4′-piperidine]-1′-yl]methanone (623 mg, 96%).
