Methyl Acetate → (r)-2-(3-{3-[[4-Methoxybenzyl](2,2-diphenylethyl)amino]-1-methyl-propoxy}phenyl)acetic acid hydrochloride salt

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 7(d) except (R)-2-(3-{3-[(2,2-diphenylethyl)amino]-1-methyl-propoxy}-phenyl)acetic acid and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde were used instead of (R)-2-(3-{3-(2,2-diphenylethyl)amino]-3-methyl-propoxy}phenyl)acetic acid methyl ester and 2-chloro-3-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde in step (d) the corresponding carboxylic acid was obtained. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC (TMC CombiPrep PDS, 75×30 mm, 25 mL/min, acetonitrile: H2O, UV detection at 254 nm) to afford the free base. The resulting amine/carboxylic acid was dissolved in Et2O (diethylether) and acidified with 1.0 M HCl/Et2O. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a white solid, 78 mg (80%). MS (ESI) 524.6 (M+H+).
