Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (55–65% dispersion in mineral oil, 22 mg, 0.55 mmol) was added to a mixture of (4-azepan-1-yl-2-methyl-quinolin-7-yl)-methanol (example 3, 120 mg, 0.44 mmol) and 4-fluorobenzonitrile (54 mg, 0.44 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.5 mL). After heating 2 h at 50° C., the reaction mixture was partitioned between sat. aq. ammonium chloride solution and dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and evaporated. Chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH 95:5) yielded the title compound (144 mg, 87%). Light yellow solid, ISP-MS: m/e=372.3 ([M+H]+).
