Reaction Steps

Reductive amination of 6-(piperazin-1-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine with 4-formylbenzonitrile 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 4-[[4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-6-yl]piperazin-1-yl]methyl]benzonitrile.
