Reaction Steps

A 25 ml, round-bottomed flask was charged with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-(4-(2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(thiophen-2-ylsulfonyl)-1-piperazinyl)phenyl)-2-propanol (25 mg, 0.055 mmol, Example 44) and DMF (5 mL) was cooled to 0° C. To this solution was added sodium hydride (7.3 mg, 60% by weight in mineral oil, 0.18 mmol). The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 20 min. After cooling to 0° C., 3-(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (9.1 mg, 0.055 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) was added. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl (0.1 mL) was added and the mixture was then purified by silica gel preparatory TLC (2:1 (5% MeOH-EtOAc) in hexanes) to yield 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-(4-(2-((3-pyridinylmethoxy)methyl)-4-(2-thiophenylsulfonyl)-1-piperazinyl)phenyl)-2-propanol (20 mg) as a mixture of four isomers.
