Morpholine → (S)-N-[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-methylethyl]-N-ethyl-[1-(morpholine-4-sulfonyl)-piperidin-4-ylmethyl]amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (S)-N-[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-methylethyl]-N-ethyl-(1-chlorosulfonylpiperidin-4-ylmethyl)amine (0.18 grams, 0.45 mmole), morpholine (0.04 grams, 0.45 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (0.12 grams, 0.93 mmole) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was dried over potassium carbonate and evaporated to give a residue, which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 40% ethyl acetate in hexane. Appropriate fractions were combined and evaporated to give (S)-N-[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-1-methylethyl]-N-ethyl-[1-(morpholine-4-sulfonyl)-piperidin-4-ylmethyl]amine as an oil, (0.17 g, 85%), M+H 452. Analysis % of the hydrochloride salt: Found: C, 54.06; H, 7.62; N, 8.24. Requires: C, 54.01; H, 8.00; N, 8.22.
