Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 146 mg (0.234 mmol) (R)—N-[6-(3-acetylamino-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-4-(4-fluoro-2-methyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-2-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-N-methyl-isobutyramide in 5 ml tetrahydrofuran were added dropwise at room temperature 0.31 ml (0.28 mmol) of a 0.91 N potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide solution in tetrahydrofuran. After stirring at room temperature for 30 min. 43 mg (30 mmol) iodomethane were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, followed by dilution with 10 ml ethyl acetate and washing with 10 ml saturated sodium carbonate solution. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography to give 130 mg (87%) of the title compound as a white foam.
