Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-N-(4-cyclopropylmethanesulfonyl-1-cyclopropylmethylcyclohexylmethyl)-6-trifluoromethylnicotinamide (75 mg, 0.15 mmol) in propan-2-ol (5 ml) was treated with sodium thiomethoxide (21 mg, 0.30 mmol) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 4 hours. Water (1 ml) was added and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (5 ml) and water (5 ml) and the layers were separated using a 5 micron PTFE frit and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by preparative plate chromatography eluting with 10% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane. Collecting the appropriate band followed by trituration of the silica with ethyl acetate, filtration and evaporation gave a pale yellow foam (74 mg, 97%). 1H NMR δ (ppm)(CDCl3): 8.00 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 7.41 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 6.40 (1H, s), 3.64 (2H, d, J=6.3 Hz), 2.98-2.89 (3H, m), 2.63 (3H, s), 2.09-1.90 (6H, m), 1.46-1.16 (5H, m), 0.79-0.69 (3H, m), 0.55-0.51 (2H, m), 0.45-0.40 (2H, m), 0.09-0.06 (2H, m). MS (m/e)=505.
