Reaction Steps

NaBH4 (53 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-(6-(1-(2,2-difluorobenzo-[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamido)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)pyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid (140 mg, 0.28 mmol) in THF (3 mL). The reaction was stirred at 50° C. for 5 hours. Additional NaBH4 (53 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 50° C. overnight. The reaction was quenched by the addition of water and the reaction mixture was partitioned between CH2Cl2 and 1N HCl. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. CH2Cl2 was added to the residue and a precipitate formed which was filtered to obtain the product as a white solid (52 mg, 40%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 468.1. found 469.5 (M+1)+. Retention time 1.64 minutes. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.10 (s, 1H), 8.06 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.01-7.93 (m, 3H), 7.76 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.57-7.54 (m, 2H), 7.40-7.34 (m, 2H), 5.33 (s, 1H), 4.38 (s, 2H), 1.53-1.51 (m, 2H), 1.19-1.16 (m, 2H).
