Reaction Steps

2-(4-cyclopropylsulfonylphenyl)-2-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)acetic acid (Preparation 1; 2.0 g, 5.42 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (20 mL). To this solution was added DMF (0.41 mL, 5.42 mmol) and cooled to 0° C., followed by the addition of oxalyl chloride (0.77 mL, 8.14 mmol) and further stirred for 1 hr at room temp. To this mixture, a solution of tert-butyl 6-aminopyridine-3-carboxylate (preparation 54, 1.26 g, 6.51 mmol) and pyridine (2.19 mL, 2.71 mmol) in DCM 20 (mL) was added drop wise at 0° C. and was stirred further for 1 hr at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (50 mL), organic layer was washed with water, followed by brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, solvent was removed under reduced pressure to get the crude compound which was purified by silica gel column chromatography to get the title product (1.6 g).
