Reaction Steps
A sample of 5-(2-(4-pyridinyl)ethenyl)-6-chloro-3-(1-methyl-2-(R)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy)pyridine from Example 82 (85 mg) was dissolved in MeOH. To this solution was added PdlC (9.5 mg), and the mixture was stirred under H2 for 16 hours at room temperature. The catalyst was filtered off, and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column, eluting with CH2Cl2:MeOH 100:3-100:10 to afford to give the free base of the title compound (30 mg). MS (CI/NH3) m/z 332 (M+H)+. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 1.65 (m, 2H), 1.80 (m, 1H), 2.0 (m, 1H), 2.32 (m, 1H), 2.47 (s, 3H), 2.64 (m, 1H), 2.96 (m, 4H), 3.12 (m, 1H), 3.90 (m, 2H), 6.98 (m, 1H), 7.12 (m, 2H), 7.96 (m, 1H), 8.50 (m, 2H). The base was converted to the salt by treatment with HCl in Et2O to give the title compound. mp 236-238° C.
