Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 5-bromopyrid-2-yl ester (see step (a) above; 1.5 g, 4.9 mmol), piperidine (1.07 mL, 10.8 mmol) and DMF (5 mL) was heated at 40° C. for 3 h. DMF was then removed in vacuo, water (20 mL) was added to the residue and the product extracted with EtOAc (3×15 mL) and CH2Cl2 (15 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried (Na2SO4). After removal of the solvent, the residue was dissolved in Et2O and HCl (4M in dioxane; 4 mL) was added.
