1-piperidin-1-yl-2-piperidin-4-yloxyethanone

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

Procedure: 2-fluoro-5-((4-oxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazin-1-yl)methyl)benzoic acid (1) (0.20 g, 0.67 mmol) and HBTU (0.381 g, 1.01 mmol) were added to DMA (4 mL), to this was added N-ethyl-N-isopropylpropan-2-amine (0.179 mL, 1.01 mmol) and then 1-(piperidin-1-yl)-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)ethanone (112) (0.152 g, 0.67 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 2 hours before being evaporated to dryness and purified by preparative HPLC (Waters XBridge Prep C18 OBD column, 5μ silica, 19 mm diameter, 100 mm length), using decreasingly polar mixtures of water (containing 1% NH3) and MeCN as eluents. Fractions containing the desired compound were evaporated to dryness to afford the desired material (0.303 g, 89% yield); 1H NMR (400.132 MHz, DMSO) δ 1.07-1.39 (8H, m), 1.46-1.56 (1H, m), 1.61-1.71 (1H, m), 2.76-2.85 (1H, m), 3.02-3.09 (2H, m), 3.10-3.20 (4H, m), 3.34-3.41 (1H, m), 3.66-3.75 (1H, m), 3.90-3.93 (2H, m), 4.08-4.12 (2H, m), 6.99 (1H, t), 7.09-7.21 (2H, m), 7.57-7.69 (1H, m), 7.72-7.76 (1H, m), 8.02-8.06 (2H, m), 12.34 (1H, s); m/z (LC-MS, ESI+), RT=1.76 (M+H 507.5). before being evaporated to dryness purified by preparative HPLC (Waters XBridge Prep C18 OBD column, 5μ silica, 19 mm diameter, 100 mm length) Fractions containing the desired compound were evaporated to dryness

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

Procedure: A 4 N HCl solution in dioxane (6 mL) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-oxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate (111) (7.5 g, 22.98 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. Removal of solvent afforded 1-(piperidin-1-yl)-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)ethanone as its hydrochloride salt (2.300 g, 44.2%). This salt was then dissolved in methanol (50 ml) and MP-carbonate (14.88 g, 33.61 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was filtered and the solvent removed to give the desired compound (2.300 g, 44.2%), which was used without further purification. Removal of solvent
