Sodium Methoxide → (3-(4-(1H-Pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-4-chloro-2-methoxy-8-methylquinolin-6-yl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-2,4-dichloro-8-methylquinolin-6-yl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone (1.05 g, 2.20 mmol, Intermediate 14: step a) and dry sodium methoxide (0.59 g, 11.02 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was heated in a sealed tube at 110° C. for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with DCM, stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature and the resulting suspension filtered through Celite®, rinsing several times with DCM. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue chromatographed (DCM/10% MeOH in DCM, gradient) to provide the crude product. Recrystallization from MeOH, filtering and drying under reduced pressure overnight provided the title compound.
