Reaktionsschritte

Add (±)-5-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethoxy)-pyridine-2-carbonitrile (810 mg, 3.7 mmol), 10% Pd/C (Degussa type E101, 50% water by wt, 300 mg), and trifluoroacetic acid (4 mL) in methanol (50 mL) to a pressure vessel. Pressurize the vessel to 40 psi with hydrogen for 0.25 h. Filter the mixture through Celite® and wash the cake with warm ethanol followed by DCM under a nitrogen atmosphere. Concentrate in vacuo to obtain the crude product as a trifluoroacetic acid salt. Prepare the free base with SCX ion chromatography, then purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with DCM/2M ammonia in methanol (20:1) to obtain the title compound (676 mg, 82%). GC-MS m/z: 220 (M+).
