Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[4-(2,3-dimethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-morpholine (0.60 g; 1.9 mmol), tert-butyl methacrylate (0.61 ml; 3.8 mmol), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.84 ml; 5.6 mmol), and DMF (10 mL) was heated at 140° C., overnight, in a closed vessel. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between 5% aqueous NaHCO3 and EtOAc. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, Et2O/hexanes 1:9) to afford 3-{2-[4-(2,3-dimethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-morpholin-4-yl}-2-methyl-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (0.27 g).
