Reaction Steps

Reductive amination of 6-(piperazin-1-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine with 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde was carried out according to General Synthetic Method 9. The crude product was purified by hplc using a Waters XBridge Prep C18 OBD column, 5μ silica, 30 mm diameter, 100 mm length eluted with decreasingly polar mixtures of water (containing 0.1% aqueous ammonia) and acetonitrile as eluents to give 3-(trifluoromethyl)-6-[4-[[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl]piperazin-1-yl]-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine.
