Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

This compound could be made in the following manner analogous to Example 60; 1 equivalent of (4-Bromo-phenyl)-(3-phenyl-piperidin-1-yl)-methanone would be combined with 1.5 equivalents of 2-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl boronic acid, 10 mol % of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), 6.7 equivalents of 2M sodium carbonate solution, toluene and ethanol. The reaction mixture would be heated in a sealed tube at 120° C. overnight in an oil bath. The reaction mixture would then be filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo. The residue would be diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases would be washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material would be purified by flash chromatography to afford product.
