Reaction Steps

A mixture of (6-bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-yl)(4-(3-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)methanone (0.076 g, 0.156 mmol), zinc cyanide (0.037 g, 0.312 mmol), palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (0.018 g, 0.0156 mmol), and DMF (2 mL) was heated under microwave irradiation at 130° C. for 30 min. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was diluted with water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The extract was washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (0-60% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 3-(4-(3-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidine-1-carbonyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-6-carbonitrile as a white solid (0.026 g, 38%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ9.70 (s, 1H), 7.97 (dd, J=9.5, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.52-7.32 (m, 4H), 5.74-5.69 (m, 1H), 5.00-4.95 (m, 1H), 3.52-3.31 (m, 2H), 2.99 (m, 1H), 2.06-1.75 (m, 4H); MS (ESI+) m/z 434 [M+H]+.
