Reaction Steps

6-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one (synthesized according to Example 1, 500 mg, 1.69 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml DMF and 1,2 dibromoethane (1.0 mL, 11.8 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated to 95° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled, diluted with water/EtOAC and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with NaHCO3. The organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (Rf=0.46, 1:1 hexanes:EtOAc) to afford 2-(2-bromoethyl)-6-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one. To a solution of 2-(2-bromoethyl)-6-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one (50 mg, 0.124 mmol) in 1 mL DMF was added K2CO3 (51 mg, 0.372 mmol) and 4-phenyl-1H-imidazole (36 mg, 0.249 mmol) and the reaction was heated to 85° C. for 24-72 hours until the SM was consumed. The reaction was concentrated and purified by reverse phase HPLC to afford compound 100 (24 mg, 41%). GS-490257. C24H18F3N5O2, m/z (ESI)=466.2 [M+H]+.
