Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(3-(bromomethyl)-5-fluorophenyl)ethanol (example 41, step b) (3.6 g) and 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(1-oxa-4,9-diazaspiro[5.5]undecan-4-yl)ethanone trifluoroacetate (example 12, step d) (5.66 g) in acetonitrile (80 mL) was treated with triethylamine (5.38 mL) and the mixture stirred at 20° C. for 20 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography using 2.5% methanol in dichloromethane with 1% triethylamine as solvent. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford the subtitled compound. Yield 4.9 g.
