Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-((4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (247 mg, 0.858 mmol) in DCM (35 mL) was added to a solution of 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)acetic acid (200 mg, 0.858 mmol) in DCM (35 mL). HOBt (197 mg, 1.287 mmol), EDC (247 mg, 1.287 mmol) and Et3N (0.359 mL, 2.57 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 26° C. for 3 h. Then the solution was concentrated and distributed between EA and saturated NaHCO3 solution. The combined organic extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by silica column chromatography (PE/EA=10/1). All fractions found to contain product by TLC (PE/EA=5/1, Rf=0.6) were combined and concentrated to yield a light yellow solid of 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-N-(4-((4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamide (413 mg, 0.822 mmol, 96.0% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.98-7.91 (m, 1H), 7.79-7.67 (m, 2H), 7.40-7.27 (m, 3H), 3.74 (s, 2H), 3.61 (s, 2H), 2.58-2.39 (m, 11H), 1.09 (s, 4H); ES-LCMS m/z 502.0 (M+H).
