Reaction Steps

1-Azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-4-yl(diphenyl)methanol (0.020 g, 0.068 mmol) was diluted in CHCl3 (1.8 mL) and dispensed directly into a 1 dram vial containing 2-bromoethyl phenylmethyl ether (0.022 g, 0.102 mmol). CH3CN (1.2 mL) was added; the vial was fitted with a stirring bar and capped. The reaction was stirred and heated at 60° C. for 24 h. The contents of the vial were transferred (after removal of stirring bar) into a polypropylene tube and concentrated under Nitrogen. The crude product was collected on a polypropylene tube frit. Excess bromide was removed by washing the crude product with EtOAc (5×2 mL) and Hexane (5×2 mL). The product was then dried under vacuum to give the title compound (0.008 g, 23.8%).
