Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.20 g (0.36 mmol) N-[6-(2-amino-ethylamino)-4-(4-fluoro-2-methyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-2-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-N-methyl-isobutyramide in 2 ml 1,2-dichloroethane were added 42 mg (0.48 mmol) paraformaldehyde and 0.13 g (1.1 mmol) magnesium sulfate. After stirring at room temperature for 18 h 0.14 g (1.1 mmol) N,N-diisopropylethylamine, 2 mg (0.02 mmol) 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine and 62 mg (0.54 mmol) methanesulfonyl chloride were added. The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. and kept at this temperature for 4 h. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was diluted with 20 ml tert-butyl methyl ether and washed with two 20-ml portions of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography to give 93 mg (40%) of the title compound as a white foam.
