Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-(methylsulfonyl)-2-(2-((1S,2R)-2-(piperidin-4-yl)cyclopropyl)ethoxy)pyridine (Step B, Example GJM10; 0.10 g, 0.32 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere was added triethylamine (0.13 mL, 0.89 mmol) and neopentyl carbonochloridate (0.08 mL, 0.57 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred for 2 h at ambient temperature. The solution was diluted with saturated NH4Cl(aq.) (20 mL). The resulting layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with dichloromethane (3×15 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the obtained residue by CombiFlash chromatography (12 g silica gel, 0 to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) provided the title compound as an off white semi-solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.72 (m, 1 h), 8.03 (m, 1H), 6.84 (m, 1H), 4.49 (m, 2H), 4.14 (m, 2H), 3.77 (s, 2H), 3.07 (s, 3H), 2.75 (m, 2H), 2.11 (m, 1H), 1.82-1.71 (m, 2H) 1.59-1.47 (m, 1H), 1.39-1.25 (m, 2H), 1.04-0.85 (m, 11H), 0.73-0.54 (m, 2H), −0.11 (q, J=4.8 Hz, 1H); MS (ESI) m/z 439 [M+H]+.
