Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(3-fluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-ethanol (2.0 g, 9.6 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (500 mL) at 0° C. under a N2 atmosphere was added NaH (0.38 g, 9.6 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir for 0.5 hr. A solution of 4-[6-Amino-5-(toluene-4-sulfonyloxy)-pyridin-3-yl]-benzoic acid methyl ester (3.8 g, 9.6 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (30 mL) was added to the reaction mixture which was allowed to come to ambient temperature slowly and stirred for 21 hr at this temperature. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc (500 mL) and H2O (100 mL). The organic layer was separated off and the aqueous was further extracted with EtOAc (1×200 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with brine (1×100 mL), dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness under vacuum. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 40:60 to 70:30 EtOAc:hexanes) and the fractions containing product were combined and concentrated in vacuo to yield 4{6-amino-5-[1-(3-fluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-ethoxy]-pyridin-3-yl}-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.4 g, 3.2 mmol, 34%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) & 1.73 (d, 3H, J, 6.2 Hz), 3.91 (s, 3H), 4.87–4.64 (brs, 2H), 5.81 (q, 1H, J, 6.1, 6.3 Hz), 6.92 (d, 1H, J, 1.8 Hz), 7.38 (d, 2H, J, 8.5 Hz), 7.46–7.66 (m, 3H), 7.93 (d, 1H, J, 1.8 Hz), 8.02 (d, 2H, J, 8.5 Hz).
