Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 20-mL vial was charged with 3-((3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)thio)propanoic acid (0.999 g, 4.94 mmol) and acetonitrile (5 mL). Carbodiimidazole (0.947 g, 5.84 mmol) (off-gassing) and 1H-imidazole hydrochloride (0.563 g, 5.39 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred at 20° C. for 4 hours. 3-Chloro-N-ethyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazol-amine (1 g, 4.49 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 75° C. for 42 hours, at which point HPLC analysis indicated that the conversion was 96%. The reaction was cooled to 20° C. and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using 80% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent. Pure fractions were combined and concentrated to afford a light yellow solid (1.58 g, 86%). Characterization matched sample prepared by previous method.
