Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1-(6-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-(R)-methyl-4-trityl-piperazine (from Step 1 above; 5.70 g, 10.9 mmol) in EtOH (70 mL) was heated to 80° C. Aqueous HCl (4 M; 6 mL) was added and the mixture was heated in an open vessel for one hour. To the clear solution was water added (100 mL) and the precipitate was filtered off. The solvent from the filtrate was evaporated down to about 10 mL, the crystals were filtered off and the evaporation continued down to 3 mL and another portion of slightly pinkish crystals were filtered off. The combined crystal fractions were taken up between alkaline water (NaOH)/CHCl3. The aqueous phase was washed twice with CHCl3 and the combined, dried (MgSO4), organic phases were evaporated at reduced pressure to give a light yellow oil (1.75 g, 69%). A NOE between the methylene protons at C-2 in the piperazine ring and the C3-hydrogen in the pyridine ring was observed. Purity 99% (HPLC). Fragmenting MS analysis supports the stated structure. HRMS m/z calcd for C11H13ClF3N3 (M)+ 279.0750. found 279.0744.
