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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl (3S,4R)-4-{[(4-chloro-3-cyano-5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]amino}-3-methylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (Intermediate 42, 3.3 g, 8.39 mmol), potassium hydroxide (3.3 g, 58.77 mmol), and hydrazine hydrate (2.97 mL, 58.77 mmol) in ethylene glycol (200 mL) was stirred for 48 h at 120° C. The reaction mixture was poured in to water (200 mL), then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×250 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered, concentrated under vacuum to yield the crude product, which was triturated with water (100 mL) to afford 4-chloro-3-cyano-5-methyl-N-[(3S,4R)-3-methylpiperidin-4-yl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide 1.5 g (63%) as solid.
