Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,3,6-trifluoropyridine (3 g, 22.54 mmol), (tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methanamine (3.89 g, 33.8 mmol) and triethylamine (7.86 mL, 56.4 mmol) in NMP (60 mL) was heated at about 70° C. for about 1 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with EtOAc (˜100 mL), brine (˜50 mL) and water (˜50 mL). The separated organic layer was washed with brine (1×), 0.3N aqueous HCl (2×), saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (1×), brine (1×), dried over Na2SO4, filtered off and concentrated in vacuo providing crude 3,6-difluoro-N-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine, which was directly used in the next reaction without further purification. Yield: 3.5 g. LCMS (m/z): 229.1 [M+H]+; Retention time=0.79 min.
