Scheme 4.8. Syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> Namindinil.<br />

4.1.9. Syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> Ezlopipant:<br />

Ezlopipant is an antiemetic drug which is prescribed <strong>for</strong> severe nausea and vomiting<br />

associated with chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy. [7] <strong>Preparation</strong> starts with <strong>the</strong> condensation <strong>of</strong> acetonitrile with<br />

ester derivative <strong>of</strong> piperidine. Nitrile group is converted to <strong>the</strong> corresponding acid under acid<br />

hydrolysis. The carboxylic acid undergoes spontaneous decarboxylation <strong>for</strong>ming <strong>the</strong><br />

corresponding ketone which is reacted with bromine yielding bromoketone. This unstable<br />

intermediate undergoes spontaneous internal displacement <strong>for</strong>ming quinuclidine (172) as a<br />

quaternary salt. Debenzylation using palladium leads to <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> quinuclidone.<br />

Reductive amination 2-methoxy-4-isopropylbenzylamine (174) af<strong>for</strong>ds ezlopipant (175).<br />
