Pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (207 mg, 1.9 mmol) was added to a toluene solution (15 mL) of 2-chloro-6-[[1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl-propyl]amino]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (400 mg, 1.3 mmol) (Compound 13) followed by a catalytic amount of para-toluene sulfonic acid (50 mg). The reactants were refluxed for 6 hours in a Dean-Stark apparatus, concentrated under reduced pressure, adsorbed onto silica and purified using a neutral alumina column, eluting with a mobile phase of 10% ethyl acetate in hexane. 2-Chloro-6-[4-isopropyl-2-(2-pyridyl)oxazolidin-3-yl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (Compound 12) was isolated as a solid in 20% yield. mp 112-115° C.
