Acetic Acid → 4-(4-Cyclopropylmethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile trifluoroacetic acid salt

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 4-(piperazin-1-yl)-6-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile trifluoroacetic acid salt (67 mg) in methanol (2 ml) was added cyclopropane carboxaldehyde (13 μl), acetic acid (0.5 ml) and resin-bound cyanoborohydride (1 mmol/g, 89 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hrs. Resin was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in methanol and purified using the prep-HPLC to give 4-(4-cyclopropylmethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile trifluoroacetic acid salt as a white solid (10 mg).
