Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (7 mL) was added dropwise to a cold (0° C.) solution of the piperidine formed in step d (0.50 g, 1.51 mmol) in methylene chloride (7 mL). The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and excess TFA was removed by concentrating from toluene twice. The crude product was redissolved in methylene chloride (10 mL) and then triethylamine (0.42 mL, 3.01 mmol) and benzyl bromide (0.18 mL, 1.51 mmol) were added. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight (15 hours) at room temperature. The mixture was washed with water and brine and dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. Purification by silica gel flash chromatography (50% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave the title compound (free base) (0.350 g, 73%) as a colorless oil.
