Reaction Steps

Part G: Preparation of methyl 4-[[4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-1-piperidinyl]-sulfonyl]-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]-4-piperidinecarboxylate. To a slurry of the piperidine sulfonamide from part F (6.3 g, 12.0 mmol) in methanol (25 mL) was added ammonium formate (2.2 g, 34.5 mmol). The system was purged with nitrogen for 10 min. The nitrogen stream was removed and palladium on carbon (1.2 g of 10 weight % on activated carbon, 50% water) was added. The reaction was refluxed for forty five min, cooled, filtered through Celite under N2, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue (4.5 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in dry dimethylformamide (20 mL) and potassium carbonate (4.14 g, 30 mmol) and 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylpyrimidine (2.4 mL, 20 mmol) were added. The reaction was stirred at 70° C. for 3 hr, and then concentrated in vacuo, The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate and filtered through Celite. The filtrate washed with water two times, saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The product was recrystallized (methanol) to give the N-pyrimidinyl piperidine sulfonamide as a white solid (4.51 g, 76%).
