(R)—N2-Indan-1-yl-quinoline-2,6-diamine (0.25 g, 0.9 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and triethylamine (0.138 mL, 1.0 mmol) was added. At 0° C. triphosgene (121 mg, 0.4 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture subsequently heated to 80° C. for 3 h. Upon cooling to ambient temperature triethylamine (0.138 mL, 1.0 mmol) and 1-methyl-piperazine (0.1 mL, 0.9 mmol) were added and the whole reaction mixture was stirred over night at 50° C. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was taken up in water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried on sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was taken up in a small amount of ethyl acetate, sonicated and kept over night in a refrigerator whereby a crystalline precipitate formed. The precipitate was isolated and dried on vacuum to yield the title compound (190 mg; 52%) as an off-white solid; MS: m/e=402.6 (M+H+).
