Reaction Steps

To a −78° C. solution of 4-(5-chloropyridin-3-yl)-2-[(4aR,7aR)-hexahydrocyclopenta[b][1,4]oxazin-4(4aH)-yl]-3-[(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)methyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (Example 3.2, Step 3; 250 mg, 0.509 mmol) in THF (7 mL) was added 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinylmagnesium chloride lithium chloride complex (Aldrich, 1M in THF/toluene) (1.02 mL, 1.02 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at −78° C. for 45 minutes, and then hexachloroethane (301 mg, 1.273 mmol) was added as a solid in one portion. The reaction was allowed to warm slowly to 10° C. over 2 hours and then quenched with saturated NH4Cl (10 mL). EtOAc (75 ml) was added, and the organic layer was washed with water and brine (25 mL each). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification of the residue on a silica gel column eluting with 0 to 50% EtOAc/DCM afforded 7-chloro-4-(5-chloropyridin-3-yl)-2-[(4aR,7aR)-hexahydrocyclopenta[b][1,4]oxazin-4(4aH)-yl]-3-[(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)methyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carbonitrile. MS ESI calc'd for C27H30Cl2N6O [M+H]+=525. found=525.
