Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-3-[2-(2-chloro-pyridin-4-yl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-propyl]-phenol (obtained in Example 130, step 7) was added to a solution of methyl-6-chloro-nicotinate (41 mg, [CAS Reg. No. 73781-91-6]) in DMF (0.6 mL) followed by the addition of triethylamine (0.021 mL). Stirring was continued for 10 minutes at r.t. Then 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (1.9 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred over night at r.t. The reaction mixture was poured into water, extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate:heptane=3:7) to give the desired compound as a colorless gum (14 mg, 25%). MS (neg. ion, m/e)=499.1 [(M−H)−].
