Reaction Steps

3-[4-(2-tert-Butyl-4-fluorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl]-3-oxopropanenitrile (400 mg, 1.26 mmol) obtained in Example 237, ammonium chloride (101 mg, 1.89 mmol) and sodium azide (123 mg, 1.89 mmol) were stirred in DMF (15 mL) at 120° C. for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 40:60-0:100) and by preparative HPLC (device: Gilson Inc., High Throughput Purification system; column: YMC Combiprep ODS-A, S-5 μm, 50×20 mm; solvent: SOLUTION A; 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid-containing water, SOLUTION B; 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid-containing acetonitrile; gradient cycle: 0.00 min (SOLUTION A/SOLUTION B=90/10), 1.00 min (SOLUTION A/SOLUTION B=90/10), 4.20 min (SOLUTION A/SOLUTION B=10/90), 5.40 min (SOLUTION A/SOLUTION B=10/90), 5.50 min (SOLUTION A/SOLUTION B=90/10), 5.60 min (SOLUTION A/SOLUTION B=90/10); flow rate: 25 mL/min; detection method: UV 220 nm) to give the title compound (69 mg, 15%).
