Participants

Reaction Steps

3-[4-(4-Trifluoromethyl-benzyloxy)-piperidin-1-yl]-propionic acid lithium salt (130 mg; 0.36 mmol, prepared in accordance with Example 56), diisopropylethyl amine (87 μL; 0.50 mmol) and tetramethyl-O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)uronium hexafluorophosphate (132 mg; 0.35 mmol) are diluted in a 2 to 1 mixture of dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) and the resulting solution is stirred for 5 minutes. A solution (4-nitro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-piperidin-4-yl-amine hydrochloride (15 mg; 0.05 mmol, prepared in accordance with Example 8) in dimethylformamide (0.5 mL) is added and the reaction is then stirred for 105 minutes at room temperature. Following dilution with dichloromethane (10 mL), the organic layer is sequentially washed with water (5 mL), aq. sat. sodium hydrogen carbonate (5 mL), is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is finally purified by preparative HPLC to deliver the desired product in pure form (96 mg; 0.16 mmol). The structure was confirmed using Protocol I-B. Calculated mass=603; observed mass=603; HPLC retention time=5.038 min.
