Cesium carbonate → tert-butyl 4-(3-{(3R)-3-[(1-{5-[2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl]pyridin-3-yl}-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl)carbamoyl]piperidin-1-yl}-3-oxopropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

124 mg (0.20 mmol) tert-butyl 4-{3-[(3R)-3-({1-[5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridin-3-yl]-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl}carbamoyl)piperidin-1-yl]-3-oxopropyl}piperidine-1-carboxylate were dissolved in 2.2 ml tetrahydrofurane. 130 mg (0.40 mmol) cesium carbonate and 66 mg (0.38 mmol) 1-iodo-2-fluoroethane were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 90 hours. 66 mg (0.38 mmol) 1-iodo-2-fluoroethane were added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. 66 mg (0.38 mmol) 1-iodo-2-fluoroethane were added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 60 hours, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuum. Chromatography over 10 g silica gel (dichloromethane/ethanol 100/0-90/10) gave 80 mg (54%) tert-butyl 4-(3-{(3R)-3-[(1-{5-[2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl]pyridin-3-yl}-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl)carbamoyl]piperidin-1-yl}-3-oxopropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate.
