Procedure: A solution of 3-chloro-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (236 mg, 1.52 mmoles), piperazine (784 mg, 9.1 mmoles) and potassium carbonate (276 mg, 2 mmoles) in acetonitrile (5 mL) was heated to 100° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled, filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-5% 2N methanolic ammonia in DCM) to provide the title compound. MS(APCI+) m/z 222 (M+H)+. The mixture was cooled filtered the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure The crude residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 0-5% 2N methanolic ammonia in DCM)

Conditions: temp:160.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Anhydrous p-toluene sulfonic acid (10 g, 52.57 mmol) was melted at 120° C. and 3-amino-4-methoxy benzoic acid methyl ester (3.88 g, 21.44 mmol) obtained in step 1 of Preparation Example 1 and 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzonitrile (5.0 g, 32.14 mol) were added thereto and stirred at 160° C. for 8 hours. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature and the reaction was stopped by adding NaHCO3 thereto. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, the extract was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound (3.24 g, 9.62 mmol) in a yield of 45%. were added The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate the extract was dried over MgSO4 concentrated under a reduced pressure The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography

Procedure: In analogy to Example 197, 5-[2-(2-chloro-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-propyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyridin-2-one (Example 196) was reacted with 3-chloro-4-fluorobenzonitrile and cesium carbonate to give the title compound as a colorless solid. MS (m/e)=497.3 [M+H+].
