Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-[(4-bromophenyl)methyl]-N-methyl-1-pyrrolidinecarboxamide (250 mg, crude), 3-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazole (152 mg, 0.8 mmol), N,N-dimethylglycine (20 mol %, 16.5 mg, 0.16 mmol), copper (I) iodide (10 mol %, 15 mg, 0.08 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.6 mmol, 221 mg) in dimethylsulfoxide (4 ml) was stirred at 190° C. in a microwave reactor for 30 minutes. The reaction mix was treated with fresh N,N-dimethylglycine and copper (I) iodide and heated at 190° C. in a microwave reactor for a further 30 minutes. The reaction mix was partitioned between dichloromethane (5 ml) and water (5 ml). The organic layer was added to a 5 g isolute silica sep-pak column and eluted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by mass directed auto-prep (MDAP) to give the title compound as a brown oil (12 mg, 4%).
