Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4,4-difluoro-2-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazin-2-yl]amino}cyclopentyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfonamide (45 mg, 0.11 mmol) in DCM (3 ml) at 0° C. was added anisole (CAS number 100-66-3; 0.22 ml, 2.01 mmol) followed by the drop wise addition of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in DCM (0.2M, 2.5 ml, 0.500 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour then at room temperature for 2 hours. A further portion of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in DCM (0.2M, 0.5 ml, 0.100 mmol) was added, the reaction mixture stirred for another hour at room temperature then quenched with sodium hydroxide (0.1M) until pH 11 was obtained. The reaction mixture was then extracted with DCM. The organics were filtered through a hydrophobic frit and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by SCX chromatography (2M ammonia in methanol) to afford the title compound.
