Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 50 mg (0.2 mmol) rac-3-hydroxy-1-methyl-5-nitro-5-phenyl-piperidin-2-one and 52 ul (0.3 mmol) N-ethyl diisopropylamine in 1,2-dimethoxyethane were added 23 ul (0.3 mmol) chloromethyl methyl ether at room temperature. After 1 hour, the solution was heated in a 60° C. oil bath for 20 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. 52 ul (0.3 mmol) N-ethyl diisopropylamine and 23 ul (0.3 mmol) chloromethyl methyl ether were added. The mixture was heated in a 60° C. oil bath for 4 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was taken in ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed once with water. The aqueous layer was extracted once with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude oil was purified on silica gel (Eluent: Heptane/ethyl acetate 0 to 100%) to provide 30 mg (51%) of the title compound as a yellow oil. MS (m/e): 295.2 (MH+).
