Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 55 mg (0.12 mmol) N-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-6-ethynyl-N-methyl-4-o-tolyl-nicotinamide (Example 63), 0.026 ml (0.35 mmol) nitroethane and 1 mg (0.01 mmol) 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine in 0.5 ml acetonitrile a solution of 77 mg (0.35 mmol) di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in 0.1 ml toluene was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature over night. Another portion of 0.026 ml (0.35 mmol) nitroethane and 77 mg (0.35 mmol) di-tert-butyl dicarbonate were added, and stirring was continued for 24 h. Quenching with water was followed by extraction with two portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. Column chromatography afforded 21 mg (34%) of the title compound as a light yellow amorphous mass.
