Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.5 g (4.4 mmol) 6-chloro-2-ethylsulfanyl-N-[(3-fluorophenyl)-methyl]-4-methyl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide and 1.9 ml (22.1 mmol) morpholine was heated in the microwave at 120° C. for 30 min. Subsequently the RM was diluted with water and EtOAc and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with a 1M aq. NaOH sol. and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Crystallisation (hexane/EtOAc 3:1) of the residue yielded 1.3 g (3.3 mmol, 75%) 2-ethylsulfanyl-N-[(3-fluorophenyl)-methyl]-4-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide (example 2). [M+H]+ 390.2.
