Isopropyl chloroformate → 4-[5-(2-Fluoro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-furo[2,3-c]pyridin-2-yl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropyl chloroformate (1 mol/L in toluene; 0.30 mL) is added to a solution of 5-(2-fluoro-4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-2-piperidin-4-yl-furo[2,3-c]pyridine (75 mg) and N,N-diisopropyl-ethylamine (0.10 mL) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) chilled in an ice bath. The solution is stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The solution is concentrated and the residue is taken up in water and dichloromethane. The resulting mixture is extracted with dichloromethane and the combined extracts are dried (Na2SO4). The solvent is evaporated and the residue is purified by HPLC on reversed phase (methanol/water) to give the title compound. Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=461 [M+H]+.
