Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-(Cyclohexylmethyl)piperazine (0.42 mL, 2.2 mmol) was added to a mixture of 2-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde (0.383 g, 2.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.7 g, 5.0 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (4 mL) at ambient temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. After being stirred for 20 minutes, the reaction mixture was heated at 110° C. for 4.5 h. After cooling to room temperature this mixture was diluted with water (40 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and then concentrated under vacuum to give a pale brown crude product. Purification by silica gel column chromatography and eluting with 2.5% methanol in dichloromethane afforded the title compound (0.56 g), yield: 86%.
