Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl (3S,4R)-4-{[(4-chloro-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (Intermediate 38, 2.2 g, 7.05 mmol), potassium hydroxide (2.76 g, 49.35 mmol), and hydrazine hydrate (2.5 mL, 49.35 mmol) in ethylene glycol (150 mL) was stirred for 40 h at 120° C. The reaction mixture was poured in to water (120 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×150 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered, concentrated in vacuo to yield the crude product which was triturated with water (30 mL) to afford 4-chloro-5-methyl-N-[(3S,4R)-3-methylpiperidin-4-yl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide 950 mg (52%) as brown solid.
