Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-bromo-3-(4-piperidin-1-ylmethyl-phenyl)-9H-dipyrido[2,3-b;4′,3′-d]pyrrole (250 mg, 0.6 mmol), copper (I) iodide (23 mg, 0.12 mmol), N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediamine (0.013 mL, 0.12 mmol), and sodium iodide (360 mg, 2.4 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane was heated at 110° C. for 3 days. The reaction was diluted with dichloromethane (20 mL), filtered, and concentrated to afford a residue that was purified by flash chromatography (silica, 10 g column, Biotage, 0-10% methanol in (DCM containing 1% 2M ammonia in methanol)) to afford the title compound as an orange solid (280 mg, 100%).
