Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,1-dimethylethyl 4-({[6-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-3-pyridinyl]oxy}methyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylate (0.214 g, 0.46 mmol), methanesulfinic acid sodium salt (71 mg, 80%, 0.55 mmol), L-proline (11 mg, 0.09 mmol), Cul (9 mg, 0.05 mmol) and NaOH (4 mg, 0.09 mmol) in DMSO (2.5 mL) was degassed, purged with N2 and heated at 110° C. for 48 h. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extract was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the crude product as a yellow solid. The crude product was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column eluted with 25% EtOAc/CH2Cl2 to give 62.5 mg (29%) of the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ 8.40 (d, 1H, J=3.0 Hz), 8.15-8.10 (m, 1H), 7.90-7.75 (m, 3H), 7.50 (dd, 1H, Ja=8.8 Hz, Jb=2.9 Hz), 4.20-4.10 (m, 2H), 4.00 (d, 2H, J=6.4 Hz), 3.18 (s, 3H), 2.90-2.75 (m, 2H), 2.15-2.00 (m, 1H), 1.90-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.46 (s, 9H), 1.40-1.25 (m, 2H); LRMS (ESI), m/z 465 (M+H).
