Potassium Iodide → HCID 57253530, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-4-[4-chloro-2-butynyl]piperazine (1.2 g) and (3S)-3-ethoxycarbonylmorpholine hydrochloride (0.43 g), potassium carbonate (1.09 g) and a trace of potassium iodide in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was stirred at 55° C. for 12 hours. After cooling, the solvent was removed by evaporation, and ethyl acetate and water were added thereto. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane (2:3) as an eluent to give (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)-4-[4-((3S)-3-ethoxycarbonylmorpholino)-2-butynyl]piperazine (0.29 g) as an oil.
