Participants

Reaction Steps

5-{3-[4-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-piperidin-1-yl]-propylidene}-5,11-dihydro-10-oxa-1-aza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-7-ol (0.4 g, 0.814 mmol) was dissolved in dimethyl formamide (10 mL). Sodium hydride (0.029 g, 1.22 mmol, 1.5 equiv, 48 mg of a 60% suspension in mineral oil) was added at room temperature and gas evolution was visible. Methyl bromoacetate (0.187 g, 1.22 mmol, 116 uL) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction was quenched with water (10 mL). The resulting suspension was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give an oil. The crude oil was purified by silica gel chromatography (methylene chloride to 10% methanol in methylene chloride gradient) to afford the title compound as a white solid (222 mg, 48%).
