Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add 4-chloro-5-methyl-5,6-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one (0.22 g, 1.11 mmol), 4-(1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)piperidine trihydrochloride (0.57 g, 1.2 eq), N-methylpyrrolidinone (10 mL) and diisopropylethylamine (1.16 mL, 6.0 eq) in a microwave tube. Seal the tube and heat in a microwave reactor at 200° C. for 30 minutes. Dilute the reaction mixture with water and extract with ethyl acetate. Wash with saturated aqueous sodium chloride. Dry the organics over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by normal phase chromatography, eluting with a 1-10% methanol/dichloromethane gradient, to give 5-methyl-4-(4-(1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)piperidin-1-yl)-5,6-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one as a racemate (0.19 g, 36%). MS (ES) m/z=478 [M]+. Chiral separation (Chiralpak AD-H, 30% ethanol/70% CO2 w/0.2% isopropylamine) provides enantiomer 1 (>99% ee) and (R)-5-methyl-4-(4-(1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)piperidin-1-yl)-5,6-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one as enantiomer 2 (>99% ee). MS (ES) m/z=478 [M]+ for both compounds.
