Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized as described for Intermediate example I-92 in 71% yield starting from ethyl 6-chloronicotinate and 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)ethanol. The reaction between sodium hydride and 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)ethanol was performed at 0° C. for 3 min, then ambient temperature for 15 min and then cooled to 0° C. before ethyl 6-s chloronicotinate was added; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.71 (d, 1 H), 8.15 (dd, 1 H), 6.93 (d, 1 H), 4.42-4.52 (m, 2 H), 4.14 (q, 2 H), 3.92-3.97 (m, 2 H); MS (APPI/APCI) m/z 266[M+H+].
