To a solution of 5-amino-N-{2-[(ethylamino)methyl]-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropyl}-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (56 mg, 0.15 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) cooled in ice was added diisopropylethylamine (0.052 ml, 0.3 mmol) followed by 2,6-dichlorobenzoyl chloride (0.023 ml, 0.164 mmol). After 20 minutes, the mixture was removed from the ice and left at 21° C. for 19 hours. The mixture was blown down, the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (3 ml) and washed with 2M hydrochloric acid (1 ml) and water (1 ml). It was again blown down and purified on a 5 g SPE cartridge, eluting with dichloromethane and then mixtures of cyclohexane/ethyl:acetate (10:1), (5:1), (3:1) and finally (2:1) to give the title compound (73.5 mg).
