Methanesulfonyl chloride → 3-(4-(4-cyano-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-6-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)propyl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(4-(3-hydroxypropoxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (670 mg) and DIPEA (1.4 ml) in NMP (7.5 ml) at 0° C. was added methanesulphonyl chloride (0.2 ml). The mixture was allowed to stir for 45 minutes at room temperature, then diluted with EtOAc (75 ml) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (70 ml), followed by water (2×40 ml). Organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate and solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 3-(4-(4-cyano-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-6-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)propyl methanesulfonate (720 mg).
