Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.174 g, 4.35 mmol) was washed two times with hexanes. 10 mL of DMF and 5 mL of THF was added via syringe. 4-{1-[3-(Methyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-4-piperidinyl}-2-piperazinone (0.970 g, 2.90 mmol) in 20 mL of DMF and 10 mL of THF was added slowly via syringe. The reaction was stirred for 45 min, and 1-fluoro-2-iodoethane (0.28 mL, 3.4 mmol) was added via syringe. The reaction was stirred overnight and quenched by the addition of H2O. The mixture was poured into EtOAc and H2O, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine, and the combined aqueous layers were extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography to afford 0.834 g (76%) of the title compound of step B. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.83 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.55 (dd, J=9.4, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 6.46 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.55 (t, J=4.9 Hz, 1H), 4.44 (t, J=4.9 Hz, 1H), 4.07-3.94 (m, 2H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.58 (t, J=4.9 Hz, 1H), 3.51 (t, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 3.34-3.22 (m, 2H), 3.11 (s, 2H), 2.99-2.86 (m, 2H), 2.68 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 2H), 2.57-2.46 (m, 1H), 1.89-1.76 (m, 2H), 1.49-1.32 (m, 2H).
