Triethylamine → HCID 86617023, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the above nicotinonitrile (2.4 g, 10.8 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) was cooled in a dry ice/acetone bath. Triethylamine (1.5 mL, 11.0 mmol) and N-methyl, N-boc-4-aminopiperidine were added and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm gradually to room temperature overnight. The reaction was concentrated, taken up in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with 1 N HCl (2×100 mL). The organic phase was dried (magnesium sulfate) and concentrated to provide a 4 to 1 mixture of addition products to the 6 and 2 position, respectively. These regioisomers were separated by silica gel chromatography using a gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes as the mobile phase to provide 1.3 g (30%) of (6′-chloro-5′-cyano-4′-difluoromethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-yl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid.
