Reaction Steps

To a solution of 50 mg (0.090 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 3 mg (0.1 mmol) paraformaldehyde and 32 mg (0.27 mmol) magnesium sulfate. After stirring at room temperature over night another 3 mg (0.1 mmol) paraformaldehyde were added and the reaction mixture was heated to 85° C. After 1 h the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and treated with 14 mg (0.13 mmol) triethylamine and 11 mg (0.13 mmol) acetyl chloride. Conversion was monitored by thin layer chromatography. After complete consumption of the starting material the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with three portions of dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography to give 40 mg (73%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
