Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(Benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(4′-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (40 mg, 0.10 mmol), para-toluenesulfonic acid (24 mg, 0.13 mmol) and MeOH (53 μL, 1.3 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (2.0 mL) and irradiated in the microwave at 140° C. for 10 minutes. Volatiles were removed in vacuo and crude product was purified by reverse phase HPLC to afford 1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(4′-(methoxymethyl)-6-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (9.6 mg, 23%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 415.5. found 416.5 (M+1)+; retention time 3.68 minutes.
