Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-cyclopropyl-N-[2-(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1-phenylmethoxypropan-2-yl]-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridine-2-carboxamide (example 112e, 570 mg, 1.16 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (6 ml) cooled down to 0° C. under an argon atmosphere was added a 1.0M solution of boron tribromide in dichloromethane (1.28 ml, 1.28 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was diluted with dichloromethane, quenched by addition of a 2M aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and the bi-phasic mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The bi-phasic mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and extracted. The organic phase was collected and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated down to dryness. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica eluting with a heptane/ethyl acetate gradient to yield the title compound (394 mg, 85%). MS (ESI, m/z): 401.6 (M+H+).
