Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask, which was purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of 6-([[4-(dimethoxymethyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy]methyl)-N-methanesulfonylpyridine-3-carboxamide (80 mg, 0.21 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in dichloromethane (5 mL), and trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for 3 h at 40° C. in an oil bath, and then it was concentrated under vacuum. The crude product (60 mg) was purified by Flash-Prep-HPLC with the following conditions (CombiFlash-1): Column, C18 silica gel; mobile phase, CH3CN/H2O=1/99 increasing to CH3CN/H2O=40/60 within 20 min; Detector, UV 254 nm. This resulted in 20 mg (17%) of 6-[[(4-formylpyridin-3-yl)oxy]methyl]-N-methanesulfonylpyridine-3-carboxamide; bis(trifluoroacetic acid) as a white solid. The compound exhibited a melting point of 102-104° C. LC-MS: (ES, m/z):336 [M+1]+/354 [M+1+18]+. H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO, ppm): 10.53 (s, 1H), 9.07 (s, 1H), 8.78 (s, 1H), 8.43 (d, J=4.5 Hz, 1H), 8.36 (dd, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (d, J=4.5 Hz, 1H), 5.60 (s, 2H), 3.37 (s, 3H).
