To this solution was added 4-fluorophenethyl alcohol (154 mg, 1.1 mmol) followed by bis-sodium hexamethyldisilylamide 1.0M in THF (1.1 ml, 1.1 mmol). The tube was sealed and subjected to microwave heating 150° C. (Biotage Initiator 300 W) for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was diluted with water (15 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 ml). The combined extract was washed with brine (20 ml) dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified on SiO2 (40 g) eluting with ethyl acetate/isohexane 0-40% and gave 6-chloro-N-cyclohexyl-2-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethoxy]nicotinamide (153 mg, 40%) as a white solid
