Reaction Steps

To a solution of 860 mg (2.83 mmol) benzyl 4-[(1R,2S)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclopropyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate in 14.5 ml anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide at ambient temperature was added 147 mg (3.68 mmol) sodium hydride. The solution was stirred for 20 minutes. 669 mg (2.83 mmol) 2-bromo-5-(methylsulfonyl)pyridine was added into the solution. It was heated to 50° C., and stirred for 3 hours. 100 ml water was added into the mixture, and it was extracted with 50 ml ethyl acetate three times. The crude product was dried and purified using a Biotage Horizon® system (0-50% ethyl acetate/hexanes mixture) to give the title compound as colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.71 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), δ 8.03 (dd, J=8.8 Hz, 2.5 Hz, 1H), δ 7.30-7.37 (m, 5H), δ 6.84 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), δ 5.13 (s, 2H), δ 4.49 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), δ 4.10-4.16 (m, 2H), δ 3.07 (s, 2H), δ 2.75-2.76 (m, 2H), δ 2.08-2.12 (m, 1H), δ 1.74-1.75 (m, 2H), δ 1.50-1.56 (m, 2H), δ 1.29-1.40 (m, 2H), δ 0.88-0.99 (m, 2H), δ 0.56-0.70 (m, 2H). LC/MS 459.2 (M+1).
