Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-(4-Dimethylaminomethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-phenol (487 mg, 2.07 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) was added to a solution of NaH (100 mg, 2.5 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) at room temperature under N2. The reaction was stirred for 1 hr and a solution of methanesulfonic acid 1-cyclopentyl-piperidin-4-yl ester (409 mg, 1.65 mmol) in DMF (1.5 ml) was slowly added. The reaction was heated to 75° C. and stirred for 6 hrs. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and diluted with TBME (20 ml), water (10 ml) and 5M NaOH solution (10 ml). The organic layer was washed with 2.5M NaOH (2×20 ml), brine (2×20 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude reaction was purified by column chromatography, eluting with DCM:MeOH:NH3 (98:1:1) to give the title compound as a white solid (78 mg, 12%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.20 (d, 2H), 6.87 (d, 2H), 4.28 (m, 1H), 3.75 (dt, 2H), 3.55 (td, 2H), 2.89-2.76 (m, 2H), 2.52 (p, 1H), 2.40 (s, 2H), 2.37-2.25 (m, 2H), 2.14-1.94 (m, 4H), 1.96 (s, 6H), 1.93-1.77 (m, 6H), 1.76-1.34 (m, 6H).
