Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 4-(4-iodo-phenyl)-1-methyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-amide (175 mg, 0.35 mmol) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (13 mg, 0.035 mmol, 10 mol %), 3-cyanophenylboronic acid (78 mg, 0.53 mmol, 1.5 eq.) and Na2CO3 (0.53 g, 5 mmol). The mixture was suspended in toluene (5 mL), EtOH (2.5 mL) and H2O (2.5 mL) and heated at 90° C. for 18 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between EtOAc (10 mL) and saturated Na2CO3 (5 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated Na2CO3 (3×5 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The crude product was purified by HPLC to give 4-(3′-cyano-biphenyl-4-yl)-1-methyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (3,5-dichloro-phenyl)-amide as a white solid (0.066 g, 1.4 mmol, 14%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.95 (M, 1H), 7.91 (M, 1H), 7.62 to 7.76 (m, 6H), 7.51 (d, 2H), 7.19 (br, 1H), 7.15 (t, 1H), 2.71 (m, 6H), 2.42 (s, 3H), 2.30 (m, 2H). MS (ESI): 464.2/466.2 (M+1).
