Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-cyclohex-1-enyl-3-[(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-piperidin-4-yl-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (100 mg, 0.23 mol) and 2-iodo-1,1-difluoroethane (53 mg, 0.45 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added NaH (18 mg, 0.45 mmol, 60%) at 0° C. under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 7 h. Excess of NaH was quenched by adding water and the mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by HPLC to obtain 5-cyclohex-1-enyl-3-[[1-(2,2-difluoro-ethyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-(trans-4-methylcyclohexanecarbonyl)amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (43 mg, 38%) as a white solid.
