Reaction Steps

2-[(4-Fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-5-[(E)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)vinyl]pyridine (Example 37, 0.11 g, 0.308 mmol) and palladium (10% wt. on activated carbon, 32 mg) were suspended in ethyl acetate (5 mL) and acetic acid (5 mL) and shaken in a Parr apparatus at 50 psi hydrogen for 2 days. The catalyst was removed by filtration, fresh catalyst (80 mg) added and shaking at 50 psi hydrogen continued for 10 days. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between saturated sodium carbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was extracted with further portions of ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by mass-triggered preparative HPLC (Nebula) to give the title compound as a beige solid (19 mg, 17%). δH (500 MHz, d6 DMSO): 8.52 (1H, s), 8.10 (1H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 8.02–7.99 (2H, m), 7.95 (1H, dd, J=1.9, 8.0 Hz), 7.46 (2H, t, J=8.8 Hz), 7.21 (2H, dd, J=5.7, 8.4 Hz), 7.05 (2H, t, J=8.9 Hz), 2.97–2.94 (2H, m), 2.89–2.85 (2H, m); m/z (ES+) 360 [MH+].
