Abstract
Ethyl 6-chloro-5-cyano-2-methylnicotinate (4) was coupled with 4-piperidinecarboxylic acid (isonipecotic acid) in 81% yield to pyridine acid 10. An amide coupling between 10 and benzylsulfonamide (6) afforded AZD1283 (1) in 79% yield using CDI as coupling reagent. The synthesis has been developed and scaled up to 20 kg batches of 1, supporting preclinical and clinical studies. Development work towards 2-chloropyridine 4 and benzylsulfonamide (6) is included.
