Benzoyl chloride → HCID 10394116, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve the product of Example 3 (220 mg, 0.43 mmol) in pyridine (5 mL) and treat sequentially with benzoyl chloride (0.067 mL, 0.58 mmol), and DMAP (catalytic amount). Stir at ambient temperature for 18 hours and evaporate pyridine. Partition between saturated aqueous NH4Cl and ethyl acetate (containing 8% MeOH). After separation of the layers extract the aqueous layer with ethyl acetate (containing 5% MeOH) and combine the two organic layers. Wash with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. Dry the organic layer (Na2SO4), filter, and evaporate to obtain 276 mg of crude free base material. Pre-adsorb on to silica gel and chromatograph on a SiO2 column eluting with methanol in dichloromethane (0 to 6%) to give 260 mg of benzoic acid 6-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-5-[4-(2-piperidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phenoxy]-naphthalen-2-yl ester. Dissolve the free base in hot ethyl acetate (20 mL) and dilute with diethyl ether (20 mL). Cool in an ice bath and treat with 2M HCl in diethyl ether (0.31 mL, 0.62 mmol). Collect the precipitate on filter paper and rinse with diethyl ether to obtain 255 mg of the title compound (91%): mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=622.3 (M+H—HCl).
