Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[cyano-(3-methyloxetan-3-yl)methyl]-5-cyclopropyl-4-[(1S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethoxy]pyridine-2-carboxamide (example 251c, 0.17 g, 443 μmol) in ethanol (3 ml) was added a 4M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (554 μl, 2.22 mmol) and H2O2 35% aqueous solution (215 mg, 190 μl, 2.22 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuo and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was extracted with a 1M aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was collected and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with ethyl acetate. 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 mixture of epimers which was then separated into its individual epimers by preparative chiral HPLC (Chiralpak AD, ethanol/heptane) and the title compound was the second epimer collected and isolated as colorless oil; MS (ESI, m/z): 402.6 (M+H+).
