View Patent ↗A process for preparing a compound of structural Formula Ia: comprising Boc deprotection with TFA of, reductive amination of:
1. A process for preparing a compound of structural Formula Ia:
comprising reacting a compound of Formula 1 with TFA:
to produce a TFA salt of a compound of Formula 1a:
and
reacting the TFA salt of a compound of Formula 1a with a compound of Formula 7 under reductive amination conditions:
to produce the compound of Formula Ia.
2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the process is done as a through process.
3. The process of claim 1 , further comprising the step of crystallizing Formula Ia.
4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the amount of TFA is 1-5 volumes.
5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the amount of TFA is 3 volumes.
6. A process of preparing a compound of structural Formula I:
comprising reacting a compound of Formula 1 with TFA:
to produce a TFA salt of a compound of Formula 1a:
reacting the TFA salt of a compound of Formula 1a with a compound of Formula 7 under reductive amination conditions:
to produce a compound of Formula Ia;
and
removing the Boc group of Formula Ia to produce the compound of Formula I.
7. The process of claim 6 , wherein the compound of Formula Ia is crystallized prior to removing the Boc protecting group.
