Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methylpiperidine-4-carbonitrile, HCl (1.0 g, 6.22 mmol) and DIEA (4.4 mL, 24.9 mmol) in anhydrous CH3CN (30 mL) was added isopropyl 2-(5-bromo-4-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl)-2-oxoacetate (2.1 g, 6.22 mmol) at rt. The resulting mixture was placed in a pre-heated oil bath (80° C.) and stirred for 72 h; cooled, diluted with ether, washed with water, brine, and dried (MgSO4). The crude product was charged (DCM) to a 80 g ISCO silica gel cartridge and gradient eluted (5-35% EtOAc/hexanes) using an Isolera chromatography station to give isopropyl 2-(5-bromo-4-(4-cyano-4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-2,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl)-2-oxoacetate 1.0 g (38%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 5.08-5.03 (m, 1H), 3.54-3.40 (m, 4H), 2.61 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 1.92 (d, J=12.4 Hz, 2H), (2H missing), 1.35 (s, 3H), 1.28 (d, J=5.9 Hz, 6H). UPLC (M+H)=424.3.
