Example 190
To a solution of tert-butyl (3S,4S)-4-(3-(2-chlorophenoxy)-2,2-dimethylpropanamido)-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (150 mg, 0.353 mmol) in DCM (706 μL) was added HCl (4M in dioxane, 529 μL, 2.12 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 12 hours and then filtered through a hydrophilic PTFE 0.45 m filter (Millipore® Millex-LCR) which was rinsed with methanol. The filtrate was purified by preparative HPLC (Method A) to give a TFA salt of the title compound as a white solid (139 mg, 90%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 0.97 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 3H), 1.36 (app d, J=5.0 Hz, 6H), 1.72-1.86 (m, 1H), 1.92-2.07 (m, 1H), 2.13 (br d, J=13.8 Hz, 1H), 2.30-2.48 (m, 1H), 2.57-2.72 (m, 1H), 2.88-3.01 (m, 1H), 3.34-3.50 (m, 2H), 3.76-3.88 (m, 1H), 3.92-4.01 (m, 2H), 6.52 (br d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.90-6.98 (m, 2H), 7.23 (td, J=7.8, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (dd, J=7.9, 1.6 Hz, 1H); ESI-MS [M+H]+ calc'd for C17H25ClN2O2, 325.17. found, 325.4.
