Water → 5-[3,3-Dimethyl-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-but-1-ynyl]-3-{(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-[4-(pyridin-2-yloxy)-cyclohexyl]-amino}-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid

Reaction Steps

NaH (45 mg of a 60% oil dispersion, 1.12 mmol) was added in one portion to a solution of 5-[3,3-dimethyl-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-but-1-ynyl]-3-[(4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (124 mg, 0.221 mmol) and 2-fluoropyridine (0.095 mL, 1.1 mmol) in dry DMF (2.0 mL). After several minutes, the reaction was placed in a 85° C. oil bath and heated for 4 h. The reaction was cooled, water (0.50 mL) was added and the reaction mixture evaporated to dryness to provide a solid residue. The solid was washed with ethyl ether/hexanes then water, collected by centrifugation and washed with ethyl ether followed by water. The solid was collected and dried under vacuum to provide 5-[3,3-dimethyl-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-but-1-ynyl]-3-{(4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-[4-(pyridin-2-yloxy)-cyclohexyl]-amino}-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (Compound 311) (60 mg, 42%) as an off-white solid. MS (m/z): 528.3 [M+H-(2-hydroxypyridine)]+; HPLC retention time: 4.61 min (2-98% acetonitrile:water with 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid).
