Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-1-[2-(2,3,5,6-tetrachloropyridin-4-ylamino)-ethyl]-piperazin-2-one (0.19 g, 0.41 mmol), Example 92, Part B, is dissolved in DMF (3 ml) and treated with 60% NaH (20 mg, 0.5 mmol). After 10 minutes methyl iodide (0.025 ml, 0.40 mmol) is added and the yellow solution is stirred at r.t. overnight. The solution is diluted with EtOAc and washed with H2O (6×). The organic layer is dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to a residue (0.19 g, 0.40 mmol). The residue is dissolved in methanol (2 ml) and treated with 0.5 M NaOMe in MeOH (8 ml, 4.0 mmol)). The solution is treated with Pd/C and agitated under 60 PSI of hydrogen gas overnight and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated and extracted several times with CH2Cl2; removal of solvent in vacuo gives 4-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-1-[2-{(methyl)-(pyridin-4-yl)-amino}-ethyl]-piperazin-2-one as an amorphous residue (0.16 g). EI MS m/z: 335, [M+1]+; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ8.21 (d, 2H), 6.56 (d, 2H), 3.99 (s, 2H), 3.60 (t, 2H), 3.53 (t, 2H), 3.47 (t, 2H), 3.28 (t, 2H), 2.98 (s, 3H), 1.46 (s, 9H). Treatment of the above product with 20% TFA/CH2Cl2 (10 mL) at r.t. for 1 h gives, after concentration, the title compound as a residue which is used without further purification. 1H NMR (CD3OD, 300 MHz) δ8.14 (d, 2H), 7.30 (br, 1H), 7.00 (br, 1H), 3.88-3.67 (m, 8H), 3.53 (t, 2H), 2.26 (s, 3H).
