Reaction Steps

3 g C-[1-(5-bromo-3-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-methylamine (step 3) was dissolved in 20 ml of dichloromethane and was cooled down to 0° C. 2.32 g of triethylamine was added, then a solution of 2.87 g 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride 5 ml dichloromethane was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. Then water was added and the mixture was extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Crude material was obtained as a pale yellow sticky solid, which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with heptane/ethyl acetate as a solvent. Thus, 4.74 g of N—[[1-(5-bromo-3-chloro-2-pyridyl)cyclopropyl]methyl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide was obtained as a colourless sticky solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 8.45 ppm (s, 1H), 7.87 ppm (s, 1H), 7.65 ppm (d, 1H), 7.52 ppm (m, 2H), 7.41 ppm (d, 1H), 6.10 ppm (s, 1H, broad), 3.70 ppm (d, 2H), 1.10 ppm (m, 4H).
