Nicotinic Acid → HCID 86751306, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of (2R)-4-(3-aminopropyl)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-piperazine dihydrochloride (160 mg), nicotinic acid (33 mg) and triethylamine (0.17 ml) in dichloromethane (2 ml) was added 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide (78 mg) at room temperature. After stirring for 1.5 hours, the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (30 ml) and water (10 ml). The organic layer was separated and dried over magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography on a silica gel with dichloromethane-methanol (40:1) as eluent to give (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-4-[3-(nicotinoylamino)propyl]-piperazine (70 mg).
