Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-2-phenylbenzo[d]oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (30 mg, 0.12 mmol), 3-amino-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane dihydrochloride (32 mg, 0.14 mmol), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (46 mg, 0.24 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (32 mg, 0.24 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 10 min, and then triethylamine (0.10 mL, 0.72 mmol) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, and then was quenched with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 90:9:1 ethyl acetate/methanol/concentrated ammonium hydroxide) to afford N-(9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl)-6-fluoro-2-phenyl)benzoxazole-4-carboxamide (42 mg, 91%) as a light yellow solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.96 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 8.23-8.22 (m, 2H), 7.96 (d, J=10.5 Hz, 1H), 7.63-7.55 (m, 3H), 7.42 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 4.62-4.53 (m, 1H), 3.13-3.11 (m, 2H), 2.67-2.60 (m, 2H), 2.54 (s, 3H), 2.15-1.98 (m, 3H), 1.62-1.46 (m, 3H), 1.18-1.13 (m, 2H); 19F NMR (282 MHz, CDCl3) δ −113.93; MS (ESI+) m/z 394 (M+H); HPLC>99% (AUC), tR=12.78 min.
