Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-1-methanesulfonic acid, 7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-, (1S)- → 2-(3-tert-butyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-7-chloro-5-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-tert-butyl-isoxazole-5-carboxylic acid [3-amino-4-chloro-6-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-amide (36.2 mg, 0.0825 mmol, prepared as described in STEP B above) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) was treated with (+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid (38.3 mg, 0.165 mmol), and the mixture was heated to 100° C. for 5 h. The cooled mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL). The organic extract was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on an 8-g SEPRA Si 35 SPE column (Flow rate=15 mL/min; Eluent=EtOAc-hexanes, 1:99 for 10 min, then 1:99 to 1:3 over 40 min) to yield 2-(3-tert-butyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-7-chloro-5-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine as a white solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.77 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.58-7.64 (m, 1H), 7.50-7.58 (m, 2H), 7.49 (s, 1H), 7.16 (s, 1H), 1.88 (br. s., 1H), 1.39 (s, 9H). Mass Spectrum (LCMS, APCI pos.): Calculated for C20H16N4OClF3: 421.1 (M+H). Measured: 421.1.
