Reaction Steps

To 2-bromo-6-fluoropyridine (400 mg, 2.273 mmol) in DMSO (4 ml) at ambient temperature was sequentially added 4-(aminomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carbonitrile (Intermediate R, 382 mg, 2.73 mmol) and triethylamine (0.792 ml, 5.68 mmol). The resulting light brown mixture was heated at 110° C. in a sealed glass bomb for 18 hours. The reaction mixture then was cooled to ambient temperature, reaction mixture diluted with EtOAc, washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield 890 mg of a light brown liquid. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography using a 12 g column, eluting with 5%-20% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford 410 mg (60.9%) of the desired product “S”. LCMS (m/z): 297.9 [M+H]+; Retention time=0.823 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm: 1.67-1.96 (m, 4H), 3.59-3.78 (m, 4H), 3.98 (m, 2H), 4.82 (t, J=6.65 Hz, 1H), 6.39 (d, J=8.22, 1H), 6.72-6.84 (m, 1H), 7.16-7.33 (m, 1H).
