Triethylamine → 6-[(4-Chlorophenylsulfonyl)(2,5-difluorophenyl)methyl]-N-cyclohexylmethylnicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dichloromethane (5 ml) solution of the [6-[(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)(2,5-difluorophenyl)methyl]pyridin-3-yl]carboxylic acid (80 mg, 0.19 mmol) obtained in Example 50 were added triethylamine (32 μl, 0.23 mmol), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (12 mg, 0.095 mmol), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (44 mg, 0.23 mmol) and aminomethylcyclohexane (30 μl, 0.23 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and washed sequentially with water, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and brine. The organic layer thus obtained was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to flash silica gel column chromatography. The fraction obtained from the hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1 eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (58 mg, 0.11 mmol, 59%) as a white powder.
