A solution of 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine (3-a with R4=CF3, 1.6 g, 9.87 mmol) (Maybridge Chemical company, Cornwall, England) in N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) was treated at room temperature with silver sulfate (3.1 g, 9.87 mmol) and iodine (2.5 g, 9.87 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 14 h and filtered. The filtrated solution was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (SiO2, 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-iodopyridin-2-amine (3-b, with R4=CF3). The iodide (3-b, with R4=CF3, 1.0 g, 3.47 mmol) and cuprous cyanide (CuCN, 78 g, 8.68 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (6 mL) and heated under the microwave at 100 C for 30 min, cooled to ambient temperature, and diluted with ethyl acetate. The precipitates were removed by filtration. The filtrated solution was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, separated, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Trituration of the residue with hexanes afforded the desired product, 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (3-c, with R4=CF3). 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (3-c, with R4=CF3, 545 mg, 29.2 mmol) was stirred in methanol (10 mL, saturated with ammonia) under hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of Pd/C (200 mg) overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate solution was concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude amine (3-d, with R4=CF3). A solution of (S)-2-phenylbutanoic acid (300 mg, 18.3 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (888 uL, 52.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was treated at room temperature with benzotriazol-1-yloxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBop, 953 mg, 18.3 mmol). After 15 min, 3-(aminomethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine (500 mg, 26.2 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h, partitioned between ethyl acetate and 0.5N—NaOH. The aqueous layer was removed and the organic layer was washed with brine. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the desired product (3-g); HRMS (M+1)=338.1405.
