(R)-(-)-5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-pyrrolidinone → HCID 71252056, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using (R)-5-hydroxymethylpyrrolidin-2-one (138 mg) and (4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)[4-(3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl]methanone (392 mg) described in Preparation Example 114 and by the reaction and treatment in the same manner as in Example 1, (R)-1-{4-[4-(3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carbonyl]-3-fluorophenyl}-5-hydroxymethylpyrrolidin-2-one (330 mg) was obtained. To a mixture of the obtained (R)-1-{4-[4-(3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carbonyl]-3-fluorophenyl}-5-hydroxymethylpyrrolidin-2-one (330 mg) and sodium hydride (37 mg) were added tetrahydrofuran and N,N-dimethylformamide, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. To the reaction mixture was added methyl tosylate (117 μL), and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature overnight. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated. The obtained residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate) to give (R)-1-{4-[4-(3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carbonyl]-3-fluorophenyl}-5-methoxymethylpyrrolidin-2-one. The obtained (R)-1-{4-[4-(3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carbonyl]-3-fluorophenyl}-5-methoxymethylpyrrolidin-2-one was dissolved in ethyl acetate, 4N hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate was added and the mixture was stirred. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, diethyl ether was added, and the precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title compound (48 mg).
