Methanesulfonyl chloride → (4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)(5-(methylsulfonyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-yl)methanone

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) piperidin-1-yl)(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-yl)methanone hydrochloride (38 mg, 0.088 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (35 μL, 0.20 mmol) in DMF (2.0 mL) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (9 L, 0.12 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 16 h at ambient temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue diluted with H2O (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained solids were chromatographed over silica gel (Isco CombiFlash Rf unit, 12 g Redisep column, 0% to 100% (10% CH30H in CH2Cl2 with 0.01% NH4OH) in CH2Cl2) and freeze dried to give (4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)(5-(methylsulfonyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-yl)methanone as a white solid (4 mg, 10%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.05 (s, 1H), 7.73-7.69 (m, 1H), 7.57-7.46 (m, 2H), 5.28-5.24 (m, 1H), 4.70-4.65 (m, 1H), 4.38-4.33 (m, 2H), 3.51-3.45 (m, 2H), 3.22-3.10 (m, 2H), 2.94 (s, 3H), 2.84-2.70 (m, 3H), 1.73 (br s, 4H); ESI MS m/z 475 [M+H]+.
