Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (3S)-4-[2-(3-cyano-4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-3-(hydroxymethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (2 g, 4.88 mmol) and cyanomethylenetri-n-butylphosphorane (2.122 g, 8.79 mmol) were dissolved in 15 mL benzene. The reaction mixture was degassed and heated to 100° C. for 16 hrs. LC-MS showed product peak at 2.07 (M+1=380). The reaction was cooled and evaporated to dryness. The residue was chromatographed through a 80 g Redi-sep column and eluted with 40% EtOAc/60% hexane mixture to yield cis-trans mixture of the title compound.
