Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-N-[2-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-nicotinamide (130 mg, intermediate from example 23) in DMSO (1.4 ml) was treated with 4-hydroxy-N-methylpiperidine (68 mg) and KOH (93 mg). The reaction mixture was heated for 20 min at 100° C. in the microwave oven. Then it was cooled to r.t. and diluted with CH2Cl2 and water. The aqueous layer was washed with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; gradient: CH2Cl2→CH2Cl2/MeOH 98:2) to give 6-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yloxy)-N-[2-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-nicotinamide (29 mg) as off-white solid. MS (ISP): 432.2 ([M+H]+)
