4-Methylmorpholine → 1-(2-((1-(4-Methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfonyl)piperidin-2-yl)methoxy)acetyl)piperidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-piperidone monohydrate hydrochloride (260 mg, 2.692 mmol), triethylamine (0.560 ml, 4.038 mmol) and then 4-methylmorpholine (1.62 ml, 14.805 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-((1-(4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfonyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl)methoxy)acetic acid (acid structural unit S27) (1.0 g, 2.692 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml). Benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (1.42 g, 3.230 mmol) was then added to the mixture, and stirring was carried out for 3 d at room temperature. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate (30 ml) and saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (20 ml); the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (4×10 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (20 ml) and saturated sodium chloride solution (20 ml), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel) using diethyl ether/dichloromethane/ammonia solution (25% aq.) (100:100:2). Yield: 430 mg (35%); MS, m/z 540.3 (MH+)
