2,6-Bis(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-4-carboxylic acid → N-[4-(4-Fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-N-(2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl)-2,6-bis-trifluoromethyl-isonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared in analogy to example 90, from [4-(4-fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-(2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl)-amine and 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinic acid (Key Organics Ltd.) after a reaction time of 17 hours. The compound was purified by silica gel chromatography on a 10 g column using a MPLC system eluting with a gradient of n-heptane:EtOAc (100:0 to 0:100). A second chromatography (preparative HPLC (Phenomenex Gemini® column), gradient of acetonitrile:water (containing 0.05% formic acid) (10:90 to 98:2)) gave the desired product as an off-white foam (10%). MS (ESI): m/z=566.10 [M+H]+.
