Piperidine → Methyl 2'-fluoro-5'-(methyloxy)-2-(1-piperidinylmethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Piperidine (commercially available from Aldrich) (0.038 g, 0.44 mmol) was added to a solution of 66.63B (0.13 g, 0.37 mmol) in DMSO (3 mL). Cs2CO3 (0.18 g, 0.55 mmol) was then added to the reaction and it was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. EtOAc (100 mL) was added and the organic phase was washed with water and brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After removing solvent, the residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 1:1 EtOAc/DCM) and gave 66.64A (100 mg) in 76% yield. MS ESI (pos.) m/e: 358 (M+H)+.
