Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-(2-((1R,2R)-2((S)-1-(6-trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3yl)piperidin-3-ylamino)cyclohexylamino) oxazol-5-yl)benzoate (69 mg, 0.127 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL) and MeOH (0.5 mL) was added 2M LiOH (1 mL, 2 mmol) in H2O. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at rt overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath, 1M HCl was added dropwise to pH ˜3. The reaction mixture was concentrated. The resulting residue was purified using RP prep-HPLC method A. The desired fractions were concentrated and then lyophilized with water to give the desired product, 3-(2-((1R,2R)-2((S)-1-(6-trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3yl)piperidin-3-ylamino)cyclohexylamino)oxazol-5-yl)benzoic acid 3TFA salt (86 mg, 0.094 mmol, 74% yield) as a white foam.
