Reaction Steps

Dimethylacetamide (0.5 ml) was added to a mixture of (2S)-N2-2-[(cis)-2,6-dimethyl-1-piperidinyl]ethyl-2-piperidinecarboxamide (134 mg) [see Preparation 15] and tert-butyl 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,3-benzimidazole-1-carboxylate (463 mg) [see Preparation 16]. The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 12 hours, after which time the mixture was reduced to low volume, xylene (50 ml) was added, and all solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate, the organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a solvent gradient of 100:0, changing to 98:2, by volume, ethyl acetate:diethylamine, in 0.5% increments, to afford (2S)-N2-2-[(cis)-2,6-dimethyl-1-piperidinyl]ethyl-1-[6-(trifluoromethyl )-1H-1,3-benzimidazol-2-yl]-2-piperidinecarboxamide (55 mg) as a white solid.
