Participants

Reaction Steps

To [2-(bis-cyclopropylmethy-amino)-6-fluoro-pyridin-3-ylmethyl]-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-cyanamide (244 mg, 0.5 mmol) stirred in isopropanol (5 mL) and water (10 mL) was added sodium azide (38.4 mg, 0.55 mmol) and zinc bromide (115.6 mg, 0.5 mmol). After stirring at reflux overnight, the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×15 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound as an orange oily product (248 mg, yield: 91%) and was used as is without purification.
