Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-ethyl-3-{2-[4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-5-yl}benzaldehyde (D72) (64 mg), acetic acid (0.044 mL) and sodium acetate (62.6 mg) in methanol (10.00 mL) stirred under nitrogen at room temperature was added ethyl 4-piperidinecarboxylate (120 mg) in one charge. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (DCM) (10 mL), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (97 mg) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and saturated brine (30 mL). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product ethyl 1-[(2-ethyl-3-{2-[4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazol-5-yl}phenyl)methyl]-4-piperidinecarboxylate (D81) (160 mg). The crude product was used for next step without further purification. MS (ES): C30H35F3N2O3S requires 560. found 561.3 (M+H+).
