Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Toluene (15 ml) was added to a mixture of 2-bromo-5-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)pyridine (2.58 g, 10 mmol), 4-[2-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidine (3.18 g, 11 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (1.35 g, 14 mmol), and then the atmosphere was replaced with nitrogen. Bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium (Pd2(dba)3 complex) (0.23 g, 0.25 mmol) and 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthine (xantphos) (0.36 g, 0.63 mmol) were added to the mixture, and the reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The result was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=10:90→25:75) to afford the title compound as a pale brown powder (4.45 g, 95%).
