Ammonia → N-[3-(1-{(3R)-3-[2-Fluoro-5-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenoxy]-3-Phenylpropyl}-4-Piperidinyl)Phenyl]-2-Methylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(3-{1-[(3S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl]-4-piperidinyl}phenyl)-2-methylpropanamide (5.20 mg, 0.0137 mmol), 2-fluoro-5-trifluoromethylphenol (100 mg), triphenylphosphine (30.0 mg, 0.115 mmol) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (7.42 mg, 0.0426 mmol) in THF (0.50 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. Chromatography using silica preparative TLC plates [2.5% of NH3 (2.0 M in methanol) in CHCl3] gave the desired product (2.50 mg, 33.7% yield) as a thick oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.07 (s, 1H), 7.67 (m, 1H), 7.54 (m, 1H), 7.45 (m, 2H), 7.30–7.10 (m, 6H), 7.14 (d, 1H, J=7.4 Hz), 6.97 (apparent d, 1H, J=7.7 Hz), 5.37 (apparent dd, 1H, J=5.0, 8.5 Hz), 3.4 (m, 2H), 2.8 (m, 2H), 2.6 (s, 1H), 2.53 (apparent sept, partially hidden, 1H, J=7.4 Hz), 2.30–2.10 (m, 6H), 1.80 (m, 2H), 1.25 (d, 6H, J=7.1 Hz, overlapped); ESMS m/e: 542.6 (M+), 543.54 (M+H)+.
