Triphenylphosphine → 2-[2-(azetidin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(2-{(1S,2R)-2-[1-(5-chloropyrimidin-2-yl)piperidin-4-yl]cyclopropyl}ethoxy)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-{(1S,2R)-2-[1-(5-chloropyrimidin-2-yl)piperidin-4-yl]cyclopropyl}ethanol (22 mg, 0.076 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (1 ml) and 2-[2-(azetidin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-hydroxybenzonitrile (15 mg, 0.069 mmol), triphenylphosphine (36 mg, 0.139 mmol), and DIAD (27 μl, 0.139 mmol) added and the mixture stirred at RT overnight. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with brine (10 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The reside was purified by column chromatography using a Biotage SiO2 cartridge (25 g) using a gradient eluant of 10-100% EtOAc:hexanes to afford the title compound. LC/MS (m/z): 480 (M+H)+. GPR119 Human EC50: 0.32 nM.
