Reaction Steps

A mixture of Methanesulfonic acid (1R, 2R )-2-[4-(6-trifluoromethyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl )-piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-cyclopropylmethyl ester (3.995 g, 8.92 mmol), NaN3 (1.16 g, 17.85 mmol ) and anhydrous CH3CN (60 mL ) was stirred at 47° C. under N2 for 4 h, then an additional quantity of NaN3 (580 mg, 8.92 mmol ) was added. Stirring was continued at 47° C. for a further 4 h. After cooling to rt, the mixture was filtered through Celite 545, washed with CH3CN. The combined filtrate and washings were concentrated and then separated by Prep LC (heptane/EtOAc—70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, 100% EtOAc) to give the desired product (1.5 g, 43%).
