Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-[1-(Biphenyl-4-ylmethyl)-4-(cyanomethyl)piperidin-4-yl]-3-(phenylamino)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Biphenyl-4-carbaldehyde (12 mg, 0.070 mmol) was treated with a solution of 4-[4-carbamoyl-3-(phenylamino)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-4-(cyanomethyl)piperidinium trifluoroacetate (Intermediate #38-2) (20 mg, 0.050 mmol) and TFA (0.020 mL, 0.23 mmol) in DMF (0.65 mL). The resulting solution was then treated with MP-(OAc)3BH (80 mg, 0.16 mmol). The resulting mixture was shaken at ambient temperature for 16 hours on an orbital shaker. The mixture was then filtered through a 0.45 micron fit and the fit was washed with DMSO (1.0 mL). The filtrate was then purified directly by reverse-phase preparative HPLC (using a gradient elution of 5-95% MeCN/water, with 0.1% v/v NH4OH modifier). Desired fractions were identified, combined, and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound, Example #21-1.
