Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-{[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]sulfonyl}piperazine (Description 1) (200 mg, 0.680 mmol) in DMF (10 ml) was added 4-bromo-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid (137 mg, 0.680 mmol), HOBT.H2O (104 mg, 0.680 mmol), HBTU (258 mg, 0.680 mmol) and DIPEA (0.356 ml, 2.039 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The DMF was evaporated under vacuo then 10 ml of DCM were added and washed with 2M aq. HCl solution (10 ml) saturated aq. NaHCO3 solution (10 ml) and brine (10 ml), dried on a phase separation cartridge and evaporated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica chromatography using a gradient isohexane/EtOAc [100/0] to [50/50] then to [0/100]). The desired fractions were then collected and concentrated to dryness to give the title compound (171 mg).
