Triethylamine → [(S)-3-(4-Fluoro-benzyl)piperidin-1-yl]-[(3S,4R)-3-((R)-1-phenyl-ethylamino)-tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl]-methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A cloudy solution of (3S,4R)-3-[(R)-1-Phenyl-ethylamino]-tetrahydro-pyran-4-carboxylic acid (containing sodium chloride; 943 mg, 2.57 mmol) in dichloromethane (25 mL) was treated with benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (1.61 g, 3.09 mmol) and triethylamine (826 μL, 5.92 mmol) and stirred for 5 minutes. A solution of the (S)-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-piperidine prepared above in dichloromethane (5 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 18 h, the mixture was washed with water and saturated NaHCO3, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (75% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide the product as a gum (1.10 g, 100%).
