Reaction Steps

To a solution of acetamide oxime (89 mg, 1.20 mmol, GFS chemicals) in ethanol (2 ml) was added 4A activated molecular sieves (418 mg) (pre-dried in the oven overnight) and then 21% sodium ethoxide in ethanol (0.2 ml, 0.536 mmol, Alfa Aesar). To the reaction mixture was added methyl 4-chloro-3-[(3-{[(2,6-difluorophenyl)carbonyl]amino}-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]benzoate (for a preparation see Intermediate 23)(105 mg, 0.259 mmol). The reaction was heated to reflux (100° C.) and stirred for 3 h under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in methanol (0.5 ml) and filtered through a hydrophobic frit. The residue was dissolved with DMSO (0.5 ml) and the sample was purified by MDAP on Sunfire C18 column using Acetonitrile-Water with a Formic acid modifier (Method B). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a white gum (6.1 mg);
