Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 2-fluoro-5-({(2R)-4-[4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpiperazin-1-yl}sulfonyl)benzonitrile (399 mg, 0.90 mmol) was added a mixture of TFA/H2SO4 (4 mL, 2/2 v/v). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 days. Reaction was complete as determined by TLC. Slowly poured the reaction mixture to the ice, then neutralized the reaction mixture with 3N NaOH until pH=7-8, extracted with EtOAc (2×150 mL). The combined organic layer washed with sat. brine and dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by prep HPLC under neutral condition to yield 2-fluoro-5-({(2R)-4-[4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpiperazin-1-yl}sulfonyl)benzamide as a white solid (243.7 mg, 58.4%). HRMS: calcd for C19H18F5N3O3S+H+, 464.10618. found (ESI-FTMS, [M+H]1+), 464.10639.
