Benzene, (triethoxymethyl)- → tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-4-[4-(5-phenyl-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 60 mg (0.12 mmol) of tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-4-(4-hydrazinocarbonylmethyl-phenyl)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-piperidine-1-carboxylate and 27.7 μl (0.12 mmol) of triethyl orthobenzoate in 5 ml of ethanol was boiled under reflux for 18 hours. After cooling the mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel using a 2:1 mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as the eluent. There were obtained 30 mg (44% of theory) or tert-butyl (3RS,4RS)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethoxy)-4-[4-(5-phenyl-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-piperidine-1-carboxylate as a colourless foam; MS: 575 (M+H)+.
