Reaction Steps

A suspension of 626 mg (2.0 mmol) 2,6-dichloro-N-(3-fluorobenzyl)-4-methyl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide (synthesis is described in section a) of example 2), 244 mg (2.4 mmol) ethylamine hydrochloride and 689 mg (5.0 mmol) K2CO3 in DMF (6 ml) was heated to 100° C. for 3 d. Then the RM was poured into ice water (10 ml), followed by extraction with EtOAc (3×15 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by CC (hexane/EtOAc 1:1) provided 84 mg (0.26 mmol, 13%) 6-chloro-2-ethylamino-N-[(3-fluorophenyl)-methyl]-4-methyl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide.
