Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-[(3,5-difluorophenyl) methyl]-4-piperidinone (0.0058 mol), N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide (0.0058 mol) and titanium(IV)isopropoxide (0.0064 mol) in 2-propanol (5 ml) was stirred at RT overnight. NaBH4 (0.0116 mol) and ethanol (15 ml) were added. The mixture was stirred for 2 day. Water (5 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. CH2C2 (200 ml) was added. The organic layer was separated, dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated. This fraction was purified by HPLC over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/CH3OH 98/2 to 90/10 over a 30-minute period). Two pure fractions (F1 and F2) were collected and their solvents were evaporated. F1 was purified by column chromatography over RP18 (eluent: NH4OAc (0.5% in H2O)/CH3CN 40/60). The pure fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dried, yielding 0.33 g (8%) of (±)-cis-4-[1-[3,5-bis (trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-[(3,5-difluorophenyl)methyl]-4-piperidinyl]-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide (compound 132). F2 was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2/CH3OH 100/0 to 98/2 over a 30-minute period). The pure fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2, filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dried, yielding 0.24 g (6%) of (±)-trans-4-[1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-2-[(3,5-difluorophenyl) methyl]-4-piperdinyl]-N-( 2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-piperazineacetamide (compound 133).
