Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared in a similar manner as that described for Example 10, step 4. Into a 25-mL round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirbar was added 2-[4-(2-bromo-5-fluorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl]-5-ethynylpyrimidine (130 mg, 0.35 mmol), sodium azide (23 mg, 0.35 mmol) tert-butanol (1.5 mL), water (0.7 mL), copper(I) iodide (4 mg, 0.02 mmol) and sodium ascorbate (9 mg, 0.04 mmol). The resulting suspension was treated with dropwise addition of ethyl 2-bromopropionate (45 μL, 0.35 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 16 h overnight. The mixture was poured into a 125 mL separatory funnel containing water (75 mL) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography through silica gel, eluting with 5% EtOAc in hexanes to 55% EtOAc in hexanes as a gradient gave the desired product as a beige solid.
