Participants

Reaction Steps

The product from Example 8A (150 mg 0.9 mmol), methane sulfonic anhydride (159 mg, 0.9 mmol), and D1 EA (475 μL 2.7 mmol) were combined. After stirring, 2-(1-piperazinyl)benzonitrile (181 mg, 1.0 mmol) in 2 ml DCM was also combined and stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was taken up in hot methanol. The methanol was filtered and the filter cake washed with cold methanol to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.69 (m, 4H) 3.04 (s, 4H) 3.76 (m, 4H) 3.86 (s, 1H) 6.74 (m, 2H) 7.29 (m, 3H) 7.75 (m, 1H); (ESI) m/z 334 (M+H)+.
