Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde → (+/-)-6-[4-(1-Cyclohexylmethyl-piperidin-3-yl)-phenoxy]-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine 6-(4-Piperidin-3-yl-phenoxy)-nicotinamide (free base of compound of example 322) (0.96 mL of 0.12 M stock solution in methanol, 0.0344 g, 0.116 mmol) and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (0.021 mL, 0.173 mmol), and stir overnight. Add sodium borohydride (0.0108 g, 0.285 mmol), stir for 4.5 h, then concentrate and purify by silica gel chromatography (20:1→10:1 ethyl acetate:methanol) to provide 0.0085 g (19%) of the title compound as a white solid: high resolution mass spectrum (electrospray): m/z calc for C24H32N3O2 394.2495, found 394.2488; 1H NMR (CDCl3): 8.58 (s, 1H), 8.14 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.27 (d, 2H, J=8.3 Hz), 7.05 (d, 2H, J=7.8 Hz), 6.93 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 5.89 (s br, 2H), 2.99-2.77 (m, 3H), 2.16-2.06 (m, 2H), 1.97-1.83 (m, 3H), 1.80-1.59 (m, 7H), 1.54-1.34 (m, 2H), 1.29-1.03 (m, 5H), 0.93-0.77 (m, 3H).
