Sodium hydride → (5-{3-[4-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-piperidin-1-yl]-propylidene}-5,1-dihydro-10-oxa-1-aza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-7-yloxy)-acetic acid methyl ester

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-{3-[4-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-piperidin-1-yl]-propylidene}-5,11-dihydro-10-oxa-1-aza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-7-ol (0.14 g, 0.28 mmol) in dimethylformamide (3 mL) was treated with sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 0.016 g, 0.4 mmol) and methyl bromoacetate (0.038 mL, 0.4 mmol). The mixture was allowed to stir at rt for 2 hr, then quenched with aqueous brine, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organics were washed several time with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate→87:10:3 ethyl acetate/methanol/triethylamine) to yield 0.07 g (50%) of the title compound, ESI-MS m/z: 549 [M+1].
