Diisopropylethylamine → methyl 4-{(3S)-3-[(4-{[(3,4-dichlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl}piperazin-1-yl)methyl]piperidin-1-yl}-4-oxobutanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-[(3R)-piperidin-3-ylmethyl]piperazine-1-carboxamide (200 mg), N,N-di-isopropylethylamine (0.19 mL) and monomethyl succinate (79 mg) in dimethylformamide (5 mL) was added O-(7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethyluronium Hexafluoro-Phosphate. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight and then loaded directly onto an SCX-2 column and eluted with methanol then 7M NH3 in methanol. The basic fraction was concentrated at reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica column chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 0 to 10% methanol in dichloromethane to give the title compound as a white foam (252 mg, 96%).
