Reaction Steps

To the solution of 2-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (990 mg, 6 mmole) in 5 ml of NMP, 2-aminoethylpyrrolidine (1.13 ml, 9 mmole) and triethylamine (1 ml, 7.2 mmole) were added. The reaction solution was stirred at 85° C. for overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into 40 ml of saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×80 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×30 ml) and brine (30 ml), then dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to give a brown oily N-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine (1.61 g). ES/MS m/z 260.1 (MH+).
