Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 8A (405 mg, 1 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) was treated with benzyl(methyl)amine (Aldrich, 146 mg, 1.2 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (Strem Chemicals, 24 mg, 0.025 mmol), (tBu3P)2Pd (Strem Chemicals, 26 mg, 0.05 mmol), tBuONa (Aldrich, 105 mg 1.1 mmol) and heated at 110° C. under N2 for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), and washed with brine (2×5 mL). The organic phase was concentrated and the title compound was purified by chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2:MeOH:NH3.H2O, 90:10:2, Rf. 0.35) as a solid (200 mg, yield, 50%). 1H NMR (MeOH-d4, 300 MHz) showed a mixture of the title compound and 3-(biphenyl-4-yloxy)-1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane as solid (200 mg). MS (DCl/NH3) m/z 399 (M+H)+.
