Reaction Steps

320 μl (1.83 mmol) of DIPEA and 350 mg (0.91 mmol) of HATU were added at 0° C. to a solution of 150 mg (0.46 mmol) of 2-(3,3-difluoro-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propylthio)-nicotinic acid in DCM (10 ml). After stirring for 30 min at 0° C., 63 μl (0.55 mmol) of 3-methylbutan-1-amine were added and then the mixture was stirred for 16 h at RT. Dilution with water (20 ml) and extraction with DCM (2×20 ml) were then carried out. The combined organic phases were washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. CC (EA/hexane 7:3) of the residue yielded 100 mg (0.25 mmol, 55%) of 2-[[3,3-difluoro-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propyl]-sulfanyl]-N-(3-methyl-butyl)-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide. MS: m/z 397.1 [m+H]+.
