Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,3,8-triaza-spiro[4.5]decane-2,4-dione (75 mg) in DMF (1 mL) was added to a solution of 2-(4-(4-cyano-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-6-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)ethyl methanesulfonate (90 mg) in DMF (1 mL), K2CO3 (83 mg) and TBAI (48 mg). The mixture was stirred overnight at 90° C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 ml) and a saturated solution of Na2CO3 (20 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 3-(2-(4-(4-cyano-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-6-yl)-2-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-ethyl)-2,4-dioxo-1,3,8-triaza-spiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (70 mg). The crude product was dissolved in MeOH (2 mL) and a 5N solution of HCl in iPrOH (0.05 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred 2 hours at 60° C., then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was directly purified by preparative HPLC (HPLC:column XBridge MS C18 30×100 mm, 5 μm, Eluent:A:NH4HCO3, 10 mmol, pH=9.5/B:Acetonitrile, Focused gradient/8 minutes/50 mL/min) to afford 6-{4-[2-(2,4-dioxo-1,3,8-triaza-spiro[4.5]dec-3-yl)-ethoxy]-3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl}-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (23 mg).
