Reaction Steps

This compound was initially prepared according to Method A, and later according to Method B (see below). Method A: A stirred solution of 191 mg of 1-(3-aminopropyl)-4,4-diphenylpiperidine (0.676 mmol), 123 mg of ethyl 3-oxo-3-(furan-3-yl)propionate (0.676 mmol), and 83 mg of dimethylaminopyridine (0.676 mmol) in 5 mL of dry toluene were heated at reflux temperature for 18 hrs, cooled, and the residue was dissolved in 30 mL of EtOAc. The resulting solution was extracted with 2×20 mL of aqueous 1 N HCl solution. The combined aqueous extracts were washed with 20 mL of 1:1 EtOAc-ether, basified with NaHCO3 (pH=8-9), and extracted with 2×20 mL of EtOAc. The combined EtOAc extracts were dried (Na2SO4), the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the crude product was chromatographed on 100 g of silica packed with MeOH-isopropyl amine-EtOAc (1:1:98). The column was eluted with MeOH-isopropyl amine-EtOAc 1:1:98, 2:1:97, 5:1:94, 10:1:89, 20:1:79 (0.5 L each) to give N-(3-(4,4-diphenylpiperidin-1-yl)propyl 3-oxo-3-(furan-3-yl)propanamide as a slightly yellow viscous oil. The product was used in the next step after spectral characterization.
