Sodium hydride → HCID 86586772, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in oil, 100 mg, 2.5 mmol) was washed twice with iso-hexane and added as a suspension in THF (3 ml) to a stirred mixture of (1R*,2R*,5S*,6S*)-8-benzyl-6-ethoxycarbonyl-6-fluoro-1-phenyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-ol (Description 38; 512 mg, 1.3 mmol), 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (0.5 ml, 2.7 mmol), 18-crown-6 (360 mg, 1.37 mmol) in THF (5 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 40 hours, quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted into a 1:1 mixture of iso-hexane:diethyl ether. The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (iso-hexane:diethyl ether) to give the title compound (494 mg, 61%).
