3-(aminocarbonyl)-4-[3,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-propenyl]-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide → 3-(aminocarbonyl)-4-[3,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4 parts of 3-(aminocarbonyl)-4-[3,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-propenyl]-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide and 120 parts of methanol was hydrogenated at normal pressure and at room temperature with 2 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was suspended in 2,2'-oxybispropane. The product was filtered off and dissolved in acetonitrile. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 2,2'-oxybispropane. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 2.21 parts of 3-(aminocarbonyl)-4-[3,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide; mp. 143.2° C. (compound 170).
