Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-cyclobutyl-2-ethyl-5-(5-ethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (compound 181.9, 160 mg, 0.530 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) were added EDCI (113 mg, 0.590 mmol, 1.11 equiv), DMAP (197 mg, 1.62 mmol, 3.03 equiv), and HOBT (87.5 mg, 0.650 mmol, 1.21 equiv). After 5 min, 4-(piperidin-4-yl)benzonitrile hydrochloride (compound 1.5, 110 mg, 0.590 mmol, 1.10 equiv) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 15 h, then quenched with 100 mL of ice water. The mixture was extracted with 2×150 mL of ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with 3×150 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The crude product (˜150 mg) was purified by Prep-HPLC with the following conditions (1#-Pre-HPLC-001(SHIMADZU)): Column, SunFire Prep C18, 19*150 mm 5 um; mobile phase, water with 0.05% TFA and CH3CN (47% CH3CN up to 61% in 6 min, up to 100% in 1.5 min, down to 47% in 1.5 min); Detector, Waters 2489 254&220 nm. The fractions containing pure compound were combined and lyophilized to yield 99.5 mg (40%) of the title compound as a white solid m/z (ES+) 468 (M+H)+. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.71-7.69 (m, 2H), 7.50-7.32 (m, 4H), 4.03-3.99 (m, 1H), 3.65-3.5 (m, 1H), 3.32-3.20 (m, 1H), 2.90-2.95 (m, 4H), 2.70-2.74 (m, 2H), 2.20-1.98 (m, 6H), 1.98-1.79 (m, 4H), 1.41 (t, 3H), 1.39-1.28 (m, 3H).
