Reaction Steps

A (1:3) mixture of 1-[4-(3-bromo-propoxy)-phenyl]-cyclohexanecarbonitrile and 1-[4-(3-chloro-propoxy)-phenyl]-cyclohexanecarbonitrile (150 mg, 0.54 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (187 μL, 1.07 mmol) and (2R,5S)-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine (145 mg, 1.07 mmol) in NMP (0.5 mL) was heated at 160° C. in the microwave (Smith Personal Synthesiser) for 400 seconds then 170° C. for 600 seconds. The reaction mixture was quenched with NaHCO3 (15 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×15 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The compound was purified by column chromatography on Biotage® silica gel, eluting with dichloromethane:methanol:ammonia, 97:3:0.3 to 90:10:1. Yield=28% 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.36 (d, 2H), 6.92 (d, 2H), 4.10-4.04 (m, 2H), 4.00 (t, 2H), 3.88 (dt, 2H), 2.72 (t, 2H), 2.64-2.52 (m, 2H), 2.14-1.98 (m, 4H), 1.94 (pentet, 2H), 1.86-1.78 (m, 2H), 1.42-1.28 (m, 2H), 1.10 (d, 6H); HRMS (ESI+) 343.2380 (M+H)+.
