Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (42 mg of a 60% dispersion in oil, 1.05 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of [4-(6-bromo-1H-indazol-3-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (332 mg, 0.84 mmol) in DMF (7 ml) and after 30 min, a solution of 4-fluorobenzyl bromide (0.105 ml, 0.84 mmol), in DMF (7 ml) was added. The mixture stirred at +23° under nitrogen for 16 h, treated with water (25 ml), extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml) and the combined, dried (Na2SO4) organic extracts were evaporated in vacuo to give an oil. This oil was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (Merck 9385) eluting with dichloromethane--ethanol--880 ammonia (967:30:3) to give impure title compound. This was further purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (Merck 9385) eluting with ethyl acetate--cyclohexane (1:2) to give the title compound as a colourless oil (290 mg).
