2-Chloroacetophenone → (R)-1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-3-((R)-2-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)acetoxy)-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloroacetophenone (6.20 g, 40.3 mmol) and (R)-((R)-quinuclidin-3-yl) 2-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)acetate) (Diastereoisomer 1 of C2) (12.3 g, 36.6 mmol) in EtOAc (100 ml) is stirred at RT for 2 days (UPLC-MS monitoring: complete conversion). The solvent is evaporated and the crude is purified by flash chromatography eluting with DCM/MeOH=95/5 to get 10.1 g of the title compound as a white solid (56% yield, chloride salt, single diastereoisomer).
