Ethyl Acetate → 4-{3-[2-chloro-4-(4-cyano-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-6-yl)-6-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy]-propyl}-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(3-Bromo-propyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (172 mg) was added to a mixture of 6-(3-chloro-4-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (165 mg) and potassium carbonate (130 mg) in acetonitrile (15 ml). The mixture was refluxed for 4 hours, then ethyl acetate (50 ml) and water (30 ml) were added and the organic layer was washed with brine, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a crude product, 4-{3-[2-chloro-4-(4-cyano-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-6-yl)-6-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy]-propyl}-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
