Triethylamine → N-[4-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-6-yl]-2'-methyl-4'-(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-carboxamide

Reaction Steps

2'-Methyl-4'-(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (EP 0533268A1) (77 mg, 0.26 mmol) was treated with thionyl chloride (5 ml) and the mixture heated under reflux under Ar for 1 hour, then concentrated in vacuo to afford a yellow solid. This was dissolved in dichloromethane (5 ml) and treated with a solution of 6-amino-3,4-dihydro-4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-3-methyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazine (D14, 61.7 mg, 0.26 mmol) and triethylamine (0.11 ml, 0.78 inmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under Ar for 24 hours, then washed with brine/saturated potassium carbonate solution (30 ml of a 1:1 solution). The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford a brown oil. This was chromatographed on SiO2, eluting with 0-8% methanol/dichloromethane to afford the title compound as a light yellow oil (72.2 mg, 54%).
