Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1.0 M ZnCl2 solution in Et2O (2.16 mL, 2.16 mmol) was added cautiously to a solution of 2,4-dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (411 mg, 1.89 mmol) in 1:1 t-BuOH:DCE (100 mL) at room temperature and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. tert-Butyl 4-(5-aminopyridin-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (K4) (500 mg, 1.80 mmol) was added followed by Et3N (0.30 mL, 2.16 mmol) then stirring was continued for 44 hours at room temperature. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was suspended in water (250 mL). The resulting suspension was sonicated for 10 minutes then filtered, washing the filter cake with water (2×100 mL). The filter cake was adsorbed onto silica gel and purified by column chromatography (Biotage Isolera, 40 g SiO2 cartridge, 0-100% EtOAc in petroleum benzine 40-60° C.) to give the title compound A44 as an off white solid (346 mg, 42%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 10.74 (s, 1H), 8.81 (s, 1H), 8.73 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.00 (dd, J=8.5, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 4.05 (d, J=11.8 Hz, 2H), 2.82 (m, 3H), 1.81 (d, J=11.1 Hz, 2H), 1.55 (m, 2H), 1.41 (s, 9H). LCMS-A: rt 5.949 min; m/z 458 [M+H]+.
