2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol → 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl 4-{4-carbamoyl-3-[(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)amino]-1H-pyrazol-1-yl}-4-(cyanomethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (15 mg, 0.15 mmol) in acetonitrile (1.0 mL) was added TEA (0.043 mL, 0.31 mmol) followed by N,N′-disuccinimidyl carbonate (59 mg, 0.23 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 4 hours. A solution of 4-{4-carbamoyl-3-[(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)amino]-1H-pyrazol-1-yl}-4-(cyanomethyl)piperidinium trifluoroacetate (Intermediate #38-4) (70 mg, 0.15 mmol) and TEA (0.043 mL, 0.31 mmol) in DMSO (1.0 mL) was then added to the reaction mixture dropwise. The resulting mixture was heated to 50° C. and allowed to stir for 16 hours. The crude reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and purified directly by reverse-phase preparative HPLC (MeCN/water, with 0.1% v/v TFA modifier). Desired fractions were identified, combined, and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound, Example #30-1.
