Reaction Steps

A solution of DIAD (0.30 ml, 1.56 mmol) in toluene (1 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 5-hydroxy-2-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-N-3-pyridinylbenzamide (may be prepared as described in Example 29; 200 mg, 0.624 mmol), 1-methyl-4-piperidinol (79 mg, 0.687 mmol) and Ph3P (409 mg, 1.561 mmol) in toluene under nitrogen at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 115° C. overnight. The mixture was then cooled and concentrated. The residue was added to water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×60 ml). The organic phase was washed with saturated brine (30 ml), dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product. The crude product was purified by Pre-TCL (DCM:methanol=8:1) to yield the title compound as a yellow solid. 36 mg.
