Ortho lithiation of sulfonamide (I) with n-butyllithium, followed by carbonation with CO2 afforded benzoic acid (II). Subsequent cyclization with PPA with concomitant elimination of the N-tert-butyl group provided the saccharin analogue (III). Alkylation of the sodium salt of (III) with 1,4-dibromobutane (IV) in DMF yielded bromide (V). The reductive alkylation of 2-aminophenol (VI) with 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidone (VII) in the presence of sodium tri(acetoxy)borohydride provided the aminopiperidine (VIII), which was cyclized with triphosgene to afford benzoxazolone (IX). Then, removal of the N-Boc protecting group provided piperidine (X), which was finally alkylated with bromide (V) in the presence of Et3N in DMF at 80 C to furnish the title compound.
