Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-(2-Bromo-ethoxy)-3-fluoro-benzonitrile (21.6 g, 0.0885 mol, from step (v) above), 9-oxa-3,7-diaza-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (21.1 g, 0.07965 mol; see WO 01/28992) and dry K2CO3 (48.9 g, 0.354 mol) in 200 ml of dry acetonitrile was stirred at 60° C. for five days under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using 27% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether, as eluent to yield the sub-title compound (20.5 g) as a solid.
