Sodium hydride → 7-[2-Oxo-6-((E)-3-oxo-4-phenyl-but-1-enyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-hept-5-ynoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 23 mg, 0.58 mmol) was added to a solution of dimethyl 2-oxo-3-phenylpropylphosphonate (171 mg, 0.64 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) at 0° C. After 10 min at 0° C., the solution was allowed to warm to rt. After 50 min at rt, the solution was recooled to 0° C. and 7-(2-formyl-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-hept-5-ynoic acid methyl ester (crude, prepared in accordance with example 1, step 4, ˜0.64 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) was added via cannula. The reaction was allowed to warm to rt. After 18 h at rt, the reaction was quenched with acetic acid (50% aqueous, 20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (30 mL) and brine (30 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash column chromatography on silica gel twice (1st CH2Cl2→2% MeOH/CH2Cl2, gradient and 2nd CH2Cl2→30% EtOAc/CH2Cl2, gradient) afforded 51 mg (21%) of the title compound.
