2-Methylsulfonyl-4-benzyloxy-pyrimidine → (1S,5R)-3-[3-({4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-2-pyrimidinyl}oxy)propyl]-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-{(1S,5R)-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl}-1-propanol (P11, 144 mg) in dry DMF (1.8 mL) NaH (60% in mineral oil, 24 mg) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 10 min, then at room temperature for 15 min. A solution of 2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]pyrimidine (135 mg) in dry DMF (1.1 mL) was then added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, then hydrolysed with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by a silica SPE cartridge (5 g) eluting with dichloromethane/methanol from 100/0 to 98/2 to give the title compound as a colourless oil (171 mg).
