Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred cold (ice bath) solution of 4-amino-1-[2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracen-9-ylmethyl]piperidine (339 mg, 1 mmol, described in Example 7b) and pyridine (158 mg, 2 mmol) in methylene chloride (6.7 mL) was added cyclopentylacetyl chloride (161 mg, 1.1 mmol). After 15 min, the reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for 18 h. The reaction was added methylene chloride (75 mL) and 1N sodium hydroxide (50 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride (50 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with 1N sodium hydroxide (2×50 mL), brine (35 mL) and dried (sodium sulfate). The solution was filtered and concentrated to give a foam. This material was chromatographed over silica gel (eluting in sequence with 1) methylene chloride; 2) 3:97 methanol:methylene chloride) and crystallized with ether to give the title compound as a white solid (323 mg, 72%), mp 149.5°-150.5° C.; MS(CI): 449 (M+H); NMR (300 MHz,DMSO-d6): 1.02-1.17(m, 2H), 1.26-1.74(m, 10H), 2.01(d, 2H, 2H, J=6.0 Hz), 2.09(m, 1H), 2.18-2.32(m, 2H), 2.47(m, 2H), 2.86-3.00(m, 2H), 3.28(d, 1H, J=14 Hz), 3.37(d, 1H, J=14 Hz), 3.54(m, 1H), 4.33(s, 1H), 6.89-7.00(m, 3H), 7.15-7.31(m, 4H), 7.61(d, 1H, J=7.7 Hz).
