Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methoxy-3-phenyl-1-chloropropane (23.1 mg, 0.126 mmol), 2-methyl-N-[3-(4-piperidinyl)phenyl]propanamide (28.3 mg, 0.126 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (0.50 mL) and catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide in dioxane (2.0 mL) was stirred at 90° C. for 72 hrs. Chromatography using silica preparative TLC plates [2.5% of NH3 (2.0 M in methanol) in CHCl3] gave N-{3-[1-(3-methoxy-3-phenylpropyl)-4-piperidinyl]phenyl}-2-methylpropanamide (45.4 mg, 91.2% yield) as a thick oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.45 (s, 1H), 7.34-7.25 (m, 5H), 7.25 (m, 2H), 6.96 (d, 1H, J=7.4 Hz), 4.20 (apparent dd, 1H, J=5.9, 7.6 Hz), 3.2 (s, 3H), 3.04 (d, 1H, J=10.1 Hz), 2.99 (d, 1H, J=10.1 Hz), 2.49 (apparent sept, partially hidden, 4H, J=6.6 Hz), 2.3-2.1 (m, 4H), 1.82 (m, 4H), 1.25 (d, 6H, J=7.1 Hz); ESMS m/e: 395.4 (M+H)+.
