Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 34 mg (0.10 mmol) (S)—N-{1-[4-(2′-fluoro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,4′]bipyridinyl-4-yl)-phenyl]-ethyl}-acetamide (XIX.1) and 74 mg (1.0 mmol) isobutyl alcohol in 2 mL dioxane is added 20 mg (0.50 mmol) NaH (60% in mineral oil). The mixture is stirred at 130° C. for 12 h. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by HPLC (RP X-Bridge; water (+0.1% TFA)/MeOH) to yield the desired product.
