Procedure

A mixture of 4-{[3-(9-oxa-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl)propyl]amino}benzonitrile (Preparation C; 5.73 g, 0.02 mol), K2CO3 (11.05 g, 0.08 mol) in MeCN (300 mL) was treated with 1-chloropinacolone (4.44 g, 0.032 mol). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight before DCM was added and the mixture filtered. The filter cake was then washed with a mixture of DCM and MeCN before the solvent was evaporated from the filtrate. The resulting residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a gradient of ethyl acetate:methanol:ammoniacal methanol (95:5:0 to 95:0:5), to give the title compound (5.8 g, 73.9%).
