Cesium carbonate → N-cyclopropyl-4-methyl-3-{[4-(pyridazin-3-ylmethoxy)benzoyl]amino}benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-pyridazinylmethanol (140 mg, 1.27 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added thionyl chloride (103 μl, 1.42 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and then to the residue in DMSO (4 mL) was added N-cyclopropyl-3-[(4-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]-4-methylbenzamide (197 mg, 0.636 mmol), cesium carbonate (621 mg, 1.91 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (235 mg, 0.636 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at 60° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was added to a 20 g SCX column and product eluted with methanol. Concentration under reduced pressure gave impure product which was further purified on silica column chromatography eluting with 0-20% methanol/1% ammonium hydroxide SG 0.88 in ethyl acetate. Evaporation and trituration with DCM and diethyl ether and filtration gave the title compound as a solid (15 mg, 5.9%); NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 0.57 (m, 2H), 0.68 (m, 2H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 2.86 (m, 1H), 5.54 (s, 2H), 7.21 (d, 2H), 7.34 (d, 1H), 7.64 (m, 1H), 7.79 (m, 2H), 7.86 (m, 1H), 7.99 (m, 2H), 8.37 (m, 1H), 9.24 (m, 1H), 9.86 (s, 1H); Mass Spectrum: M−H− 401.
