Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine (9.87 g), ethyl 2-[(2′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-3-oxohexanoate (23.59 g) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (5.05 mL) in N,N-diethylaniline (50 mL) was stirred at 180° C. for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid and then with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography [eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=80/20→60/40 (volume ratio)], and crystallized from diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as a colorless solid (7.91 g, 41%).
