4-(Piperidin-4-yloxy)pyridine → 6-Methyl-6'-{3-[4-(pyridin-4-yloxy)-piperidine-1-sulfonyl]-phenyl}-4-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-[2,2']bipyridinyl

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared from 3-[6′-methyl-4′-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-[2,2′]bipyridinyl-6-yl]-benzenesulfonyl chloride (example I.2) (0.200 g, 0.409 mmol) by treatment with 4-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-pyridine [CAS-no. 224178-65-8] (0.365 g, 2.05 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at 23° C. for 16 h. Diluted with EtOAc, washed with 5% citric acid, sat. NaHCO3-sol. and brine, dried organic layer over Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent in vacuum left a crude product, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography with EtOAc followed by trituration with diethyl ether/heptane to give the title compound (0.130 g, 50%) as a white foam. MS (ISP) 631.3 [(M+H)+].
