Diisopropylethylamine → 5-Bromo-N-(2-cyclopropyl-2-hydroxy-propyl)-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-nicotinic acid (1.1 g, 3.0 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (25 mL). To the solution was added TBTU (1.06 g, 3.3 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethyl amine (2.54 mL, 15 mmol) and α-(aminomethyl)-α-methyl-cyclopropanemethanol (0.38 g, 3.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with sodium hydroxide solution (0.5 N) and brine. Organic phases were pooled, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, heptane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (0.38 g) as a light yellow solid, MS (ISP) 462.9, 464.9 (M−H)+.
