Reaction Steps

0.523 mL (1.05 mmol) of trimethyltrifluoromethylsilane (2M in THF) was slowly added dropwise at −10° C. to a solution of 0.39 g (0.85 mmol) of 5-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)pyridin-2-ylethynyl]-2-[2-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)ethoxy]benzaldehyde (Example 14.1c) and 13 mg (0.087 mmol) of cesium fluoride in 10 mL of THF and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at −10° C. 7 mL of 1M aqueous HCl were added and the mixture was stirred. The reaction mixture was made alkaline by the addition of saturated aqueous potassium carbonate solution and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc, and the combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated down in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc/MeOH/sat. aqueous ammonia 95:5:0.5). Yield: 25 mg (5% of theoretical); C29H28ClF3N2O2 (M=528.993); calc.: (M+H)+:529/531 (Cl); found: molpeak (M+H)+:529/531 (Cl); HPLC-MS: 5.95 minutes (method B).
