Reaction Steps

To microwave vial was added 2-bromo-6-fluoro-3-methylpyridine (1355 mg, 7.13 mmol), tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1338 mg, 7.18 mmol), anhydrous NMP (3.5 mL), and DIPEA (1.65 ml, 9.45 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 120° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture was then diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (80 g SiO2, 0-25% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford tert-butyl 4-(6-bromo-5-methylpyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (46-1) as a waxy tan solid. HRMS m/z (M+H) 356.0971 measured, 356.0968 calculated.
