Trimethylsilyldiazomethane → methyl (4-{2-[3-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]ethyl}-4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)(phenyl)acetate

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (4-{2-[3-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-8-azabicyclo-[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]ethyl}-4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)(phenyl)acetic acid (prepared above) (12 mg, 0.02 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) was added (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (100 μL, 2.0 M in hexans). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. After evaporation of the solvents, the residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 0-10% methanol in ethyl acetate, to afford an oil (10 mg, 81%) as methyl(4-{2-[3-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]ethyl}-4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)(phenyl)acetate. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.67 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 1H), 7.45-7.42 (m, 2H), 7.37-7.27 (m, 8H), 7.23-7.15 (m, 3H), 4.61 (m, 1H), 3.89 (s, 1H), 3.67 (s, 3H), 3.25-3.24 (m, 2H), 2.72-2.70 (m, 1H), 2.55 (s, 4H), 2.42-2.16 (m, 6H), 2.03-1.85 (m, 7H), 1.81-1.76 (m, 3H), 1.61-1.58 (m, 2H).
