Reaction Steps

A mixture of (6-bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-yl)(4-(3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl) methanone (0.115 g, 0.235 mmol), zinc cyanide (0.055 g, 0.470 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.027 g, 0.0235 mmol), and DMF (4 mL) was heated under microwave irradiation at 130° C. for 30 min. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was diluted with water (80 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (80 mL). The extract was washed with brine (2×80 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (0-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 3-(4-(3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-6-carbonitrile as a white solid (0.050 g, 49%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ9.71 (m, 1H), 7.98 (dd, J=9.5, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (dd, J=9.5, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 6.84-6.77 (m, 1H), 5.76 (m, 1H), 5.01-4.96 (m, 1H), 3.46-3.31 (m, 2H), 3.03-2.94 (m, 1H), 2.07-1.70 (m, 4H); MS (ESI+) m/z 436 [M+H]+.
