Ammonia → 2-Methyl-N-(3-{1-[(3R)-3-(2-Nitrophenoxy)-3-Phenylpropyl]-4-Piperidinyl}Phenyl)Propanamide

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-nitrophenol (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 (2.37 mg, 34.5% yield) as a thick oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.84 (d, 1H), 7.90 (m, 1H) 7.45 (m 1H), 7.30–7.20 (m, 5H), 7.20 (m, 2H), 6.98 (m, 2H), 6.89 (apparent d, 1H, J=7.7 Hz), 5.62 (apparent dd, 1H, J=4.1, 8.9 Hz), 3.10 (m, 2H), 2.60 (m, 2H), 2.53 (m, 2H), 2.30–2.10 (m, 6H), 1:90 (m, 2H), 1.25 (d, 6H, overlapped); ESMS m/e: 502.3 (M+H)+.
