4-((5-(Chloromethyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzonitrile hydrochloride → Ethyl 1-[3-(4-cyanobenzyl)-2-methyl-3H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl]-4-[3-(methanesulfonylaminomethyl)-benzyl]piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared using the protocol described in Example 61, Step C substituting methyl 4-(3-methylbenzyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride salt with ethyl 4-[3-(methanesulfonylamino-methyl)benzyl]piperidine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride salt, and 1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-5-chloromethylimidazole hydrochloride salt with 1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-5-chloromethyl-2-methylimidazole hydrochloride salt (Example 53, Step B). After column chromatography on silica gel, the free base obtained was triturated with anhydrous diethyl ether. The white solid precipitated was filtered, and residual solvent was removed under vacuum overnight to provide the title compound.
