Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(5-Bromo-6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-amine (34, 1.7 g, 4.93 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) and cooled at −78° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this mixture was added methyllithium (1.6 M in diethyl ether, 5.91 mmol) dropwise over 20 minutes. After the addition of methyllithium was completed, the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours. To this mixture was added tert-butyllithium (1.7 M in pentane, 10.85 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was maintained at −78° C., and 1-piperidinecarboxaldehyde (0.60 mL, 5.42 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was allowed to stir at −78° C. for an additional 2 hours and warming to 25° C. was achieved from the slow evaporation of the dry ice/acetone cooling bath. The reaction was quenched with ice cold saturated sodium chloride and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. Concentration under reduced pressure afforded an orange oil (35, 1.4 g, 4.93 mmol). MS(ESI) [M+H+]+=295.1.
