Ethyl isocyanate → N-ethyl-4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-1-piperidinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-(2,5-difluorophenyl)piperidine hydrochloride (80 mg, 0.20 mmol) obtained in Example 260 and triethylamine (0.092 ml, 0.66 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (4 ml), followed by the addition of ethyl isocyanate (0.027 ml, 0.34 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 6 hours, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (0.5 ml) was added. The residue obtained by concentrating the reaction mixture under reduced pressure was subjected to flash silica gel chromatography, and the fraction obtained from the dichloromethane:methanol=50:1 eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a white solid. The resulting solid was washed with diisopropyl ether, whereby the title compound (74 mg, 0.17 mmol, 85%) was obtained as a white powder.
