Reaction Steps

Methyl 6-methyl-2-({2,2,2-trifluoro-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethyl}carbamoyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate (1.58 g, 3.44 mmol) was dissolved under argon at 0° C. in N,N-dimethylformamide (35 ml). Sodium hydride (60%; 0.165 g, 4.12 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred with ice cooling for 2 h. Iodoethane (0.643 g, 4.12 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was thawed with stirring over 18 h. Water and ethyl acetate were added and the phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over magnesium sulphate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (3/1) and gave 1.15 g (66% of theory) of methyl 1-ethyl-6-methyl-2-({2,2,2-trifluoro-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethyl}carbamoyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate. HPLC-MS: log P=6.27; mass (m/z): 488.1 (M+H)+; 1HNMR (D6-DMSO): δ 1.20 (t, 3H), 2.83 (s, 3H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 4.59 (q, 2H), 6.30-6.34 (m, 1H), 7.42 (s, 1H), 7.70-7.84 (m, 2H), 8.06 (d, 1H), 7.93-7.97 (m, 1H), 8.21 (s, 1H), 8.67 (s, 1H).
