Triethylamine → N,N-Dimethyl-4-[5-fluoro-3-[4-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)benzyloxy]phenyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 4-[5-fluoro-3-[4-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)benzyloxy]phenyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylic acid (100 mg, 0.24 mmol), dimethylamine hydrochloride (98 mg, 1.2 mmol) and triethylamine (253 mg, 2.5 mmol) in THF (50 ml) at 0° C. was added diethyl cyanophosphonate (44 mg, 0.27 mmol). After 10 min, the reaction was diluted with water (50 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml). The extract was washed with water (50 ml) and brine (50 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. Purification of the residue was performed by column chromatography (silica-gel, 50 g; gradient polarity of eluant from dichloromethane to 5% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 117 mg of crude product as a colorless foam. Recrystallization from a mixture of isopropyl ether-ethyl acetate (1:1) to give the titled compound (51 mg, 50%).
