Reaction Steps

To (5-bromo-6-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-(6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-amine (568, 4.60 g, 0.0125 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (60.0 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen at −78° C., isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.00 M in tetrahydrofuran, 6.44 mL) was added over 10 minutes. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 20 minutes, and then allowed to warm to room temperature for 10 minutes. The reaction was cooled to −78° C., followed by adding tert-butyllithium (1.70 M in hexane, 15.3 mL) over 10 minutes. After 40 minutes, N,N-dimethylformamide (1.23 mL, 0.0158 mol) was added and the reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 40 minutes, then allowed to warm to room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 35% to 100% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a light yellow solid (569, 2.84 g, 71.7%).
