Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrid-2-yl]piperazine (2.00 g, 8.65 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL) and DIPEA (3.3 mL, 19.0 mmol) was added ethyl 2-bromopropionate (1.20 mL, 9.51 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. After 14 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with elution using 50% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-2-yl)-piperazin-1-yl]propionic acid ethyl ester.
