Pyridine → 6-{4-[2-(Trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]piperidin-1-yl}pyridazine-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-{4-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]piperidin-1-yl}pyridazine-3-carboxamide (1.35 g, 3.69 mmol) and pyridine (1.49 mL, 18.43 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (30 mL) at 0° C. was added trifluoroacetic anhydride (1.04 mL, 7.37 mmol). The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 days. Aqueous saturated NaHCO3 and ethyl acetate were added. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted four times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (NaSO4) and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (gradient 60% ethyl acetate:hexanes to 100% ethyl acetate) provided the title compound. 1H NMR (acetone-d6) δ 7.75 (1H, d, J=9.6 Hz), 7.68-7.62 (2H, m), 7.37 (2H, dd, J=8.4, 13.9 Hz), 7.13 (1H, t, J=7.6 Hz), 5.08-5.04 (1H, m), 4.06-4.02 (4H, m), 2.20-2.14 (2H, m), 2.00-1.94 (2H, m).
