Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.88 ml of formalin and 1.07 g of methylfuran were added to a mixture of 4.43 g (15.7 mmol) of 4-(4-methylsulfonylaminobenzoyl)piperidine in free form obtained in Example 17, 1.57 ml of glacial acetic acid and 10 ml of water and the obtained mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2 h. After cooling, the mixture was neutralized with a 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous common salt solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The solid residue was recrystallized from ethanol/methanol to obtain 4.16 g (yield: 70%) of the intended compound.
