Reaction Steps

(S)-1-Indan-1-yl-4-phenylamino-piperidine-4-carbonitrile (27 mmol) was added dropwise at room temperature to a mixture of acetic anhydride and formic acid (40 ml each). The mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. Sodium hydroxide solution was added (pH=7) and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic phases were pooled, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. Chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate) yielded the formulated amine which was dissolved in t-butanol (60 ml). Ammonia (28%, 10 ml), water (10 ml) and hydrogen peroxide solution (33% in water, 5 ml) were added. The mixture was stirred for 2.5 h at room temperature (RT, about 22° C.), quenched with cold water (50 ml) and extracted with methylene chloride. Organic phases were pooled, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. Chromatography on silica gel (methylene chloride/methanol, 98:2) yielded the desired product as a solid. 1.0 g (11%) of (S)-1-indan-1-yl-4-phenylamino-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid amide, m.p. 194-195° C. and MS: m/e=336.2 (M+H+).
