Participants

Reaction Steps

50 mg (0.15 mmol) (S)—N-{1-(4-[1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-phenyl}-ethyl)-acetamide (compound 1.48), 14 mg (0.16 mmol) 2-methylcyclopropanemethanol and 38.8 mg (0.15 mmol) triphenylphosphine are added to 2 mL 2-methyl-tetrahydrofurane at 0° C. 30.5 μl (0.15 mmol) di-iso-propyl azodicarboxylate are added and the mixture is allowed to warm to rt. Stirring is continued over night followed by addition of 0.5 equivalents of triphenylphosphine and 0.5 equivalents of di-iso-propyl azodicarboxylate. Stirring is continued for one day and again additional triphenylphosphine and di-iso-propyl azodicarboxylate are added and stirring is continued for 16 h at 50° C. Then the mixture is filtered and purified using reversed phase HPLC (water/MeOH, 0.1% FA) to yield the desired product.
