Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N′-Carbonyldiimidazole (68 mg, 0.424 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-((1-(4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfonyl)piperidin-2-yl)methoxy)acetic acid (150 mg, 0.404 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. A solution of 4-(pyridin-3-yl)piperidin-4-ol (A2) (72 mg, 0.404 mmol) in methylene chloride (2 ml) was subsequently added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 h at room temperature. Thereafter, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (10 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the aqueous phase was subsequently extracted with methylene chloride (2×10 ml). The combined organic phases were extracted with saturated sodium chloride solution (10 ml), dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography with ethyl acetate/methanol (20:1). 1-(4-Hydroxy-4-(pyridin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)-2-((1-(4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfonyl)piperidin-2-yl)methoxy)ethanone (100 mg, 0.188 mmol) was dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (3 ml), and chlorotrimethylsilane (28 μl, 0.226 mmol) was slowly added. Diethyl ether (10 ml) was subsequently added and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. The precipitate formed was filtered off, dried with exclusion of air and washed with diethyl ether.
