Reaction Steps

In a 50 mL, 3-neck round-bottom flask, (Z)-3-(3-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acrylic acid (Example 1, Step 4; 0.3 g, 1.0 eq.) was dissolved in THF:EtOAc (15 mL, 2:1) and cooled to −60° C. where N-methyl-2-morpholinoacetohydrazide (0.23 g, 1.5 eq.) was introduced dropwise. T3P (50% in EtOAc) (1.27 mL, 2.5 eq.) was added dropwise followed by DIPEA (0.45 mL, 3 eq.) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at −60° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure (25° C., 20 mm Hg) to afford the crude product that was purified by column chromatography (60/120 silica gel) using methanol/dichloromethane gradient (the column was packed in dichloromethane and the desired compound started eluting from 3% methanol/dichloromethane). Fractions containing the desired compounds were combined to afford (Z)-3-(3-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-N′-methyl-N-(2-morpholinoacetyl)acrylohydrazide (0.052 g, yield: 12%).
