Water → 4-chloro-3-cyano-N-[(3S,4R)-3-ethoxypiperidin-4-yl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl (3S,4R)-4-{[(4-chloro-3-cyano-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}-3-ethoxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (Intermediate 32, 1.5 g, 3.92 mmol), potassium hydroxide (1.54 g, 27.48 mmol), and hydrazine hydrate (1.38 mL, 27.48 mmol) in ethylene glycol (200 mL) was stirred for 60 h at 120° C. The reaction mixture was poured in to water (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×300 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered, concentrated under vacuum to yield the crude product which was triturated with water (150 mL) to afford 4-chloro-3-cyano-N-[(3S,4R)-3-ethoxypiperidin-4-yl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide (670 mg, 55%) as solid.
