cycloheptylurea

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: N-(3-Cyanophenyl)-N′-(piperidin-4-yl)cycloheptylurea (2.07 g, 6.95 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) with triethylamine (7.64 mmol, 0.77 g, 1.1 ml) was cooled to 0° C. and a-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1.46 g, 7.64 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (60 ml) was added dropwise. The reaction was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and was stirred for 18 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue patitioned between water and 5:1 ethyl acetate:acetone. The organic layer was washed with 1N HCl and 1N NaOH, then brine. It was dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to give 2.63 g of crude product. Purification by medium pressure liquid chromatography on a silica gel column (350 g) gave N-(3-cyanophenyl)-N′-(1-((phenyl)methane)sulfonyl)piperidin-4-yl)cycloheptylurea (1.81 g, 4.0 mmol, 58%, mp 203-204° C.); HRMS (M+H)+ calc. 453.196038, found 453.198085. The solvent was removed in vacuo The organic layer was washed with 1N HCl and 1N NaOH It was dried (Na2SO4) evaporated to give 2.63 g of crude product Purification by medium pressure liquid chromatography on a silica gel column (350 g)
