Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (0.15 mL; 3 eq) was added to a solution of 2-methyl-5-(1-piperazinyl)-6-fluoro quinoline (0.075 g; 1 eq) and 2-(3-nitrophenyl)ethyl methanesulfonate (D4) (0.08; 1.1 eq) in dimethylformamide (3.0 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 10 hours. The dark solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, diluted with water (3 mL) and brine (1 mL) and extracted into ethyl acetate (3×3 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient from dichloromethane to dichloromethane-methanol (98:2) affording the title compound in 42% yield (0.05 g).
