Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To (R)-3-aminovaleric acid hydrochloride (5.0 g), were added 1-bromo-4-trifluoromethylbenzene (10.95 g), copper iodide (1.24 g), potassium carbonate (13.5 g) and dimethylsulfoxide (50 ml), the mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere in a sealed vessel at about 110° C. for 46 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, water (50 ml) and toluene (50 ml) was added thereto, the pH was adjusted to 3-4 with addition of hydrochloric acid (12.5 mL) and the solution was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with toluene (50 ml) and the combined organic layer was washed with water (50 ml). 28% ammonia water (50 ml) and water (50 ml) were added to the organic layer and the product was extracted with the aqueous layer. To the aqueous layer were added toluene (50 ml) and hydrochloric acid (30 ml) and the solution was separated. The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo at about 60° C. of the bath temperature, n-heptane (16.3 g) was added to the residue and evaporated twice to give the titled compound as an oily residue. The product was used in the next step without purification.
