Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-methyl 1-(2-benzyl-4-(3-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-carbonyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (123 mg, 0.25 mmol) was dissolved in a 7 N ammonia solution in MeOH (10 mL), treated with catalytic amount of sodium cyanide, then heated in a sealed tube at 80° C. for 5 days. The reaction mixture was then evaporated, washed with water and air dried to afford a residue then purified by silica gel flash chromatography with 50% then 100% EtOAc/hexanes as eluant to afford the title compound as colorless foam (26 mg, 22%). LC/MS (Method B) 3.49 min, [M+1]+ 478.
