Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (1.214 g, 8.79 mmol) was added to 4-{1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazin-6-yl]piperidin-4-yl}phenol (obtained as described in Example 46, preparation of starting materials) (1.07 g, 2.93 mmol) and 1-chloropropan-2-one (0.466 mL, 5.86 mmol) in DMA (10 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, concentrated and diluted with water (25 mL) then extracted with DCM (2×25 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 50 to 100% EtOAc in isohexane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford 1-(4-{1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazin-6-yl]piperidin-4-yl}phenoxy)propan-2-one (1.190 g, 96%) as a gum.
