Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 4-[5-(6-nitro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.29 g) in DCM (15 mL) was added TFA (1.5 mL) before stirring o.n. at r.t. The solvent was thereafter removed by blowing with nitrogen and the residue, crude 6-nitro-2-(6-piperazin-1-ylpyridin-3-yl)-1,3-benzothiazole (MS m/z [M+H] 342.), was used directly in the next step. To this residue in methanol (3 mL), was added formaldehyde (37% aq., 0.25 mL) and sodium cyanoborohydride (74 mg), followed by heating at 70° C. for 5 minutes. A thick solid formed and additional methanol (3 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h, then filtered. The solid was washed with ice-cold methanol and was then dried under vacuum over P2O5, to give intermediate 2-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl]-6-nitro-1,3-benzothiazole trifluoroacetate (0.26 g) as a solid. MS m/z (M+H) 356. This intermediate (0.26 g) was dissolved in methanol (8 mL) and ammonia (7M in methanol, 2 mL) was added. The flask was evacuated and flushed with argon. Palladium (10% on carbon, 30 mg) was added and the flask was evacuated and filled with hydrogen gas. The reaction mixture was shaken under an atmosphere of hydrogen o.n. at r.t. The mixture was thereafter filtered through diatomaceous earth and evaporated in vacuo, to give the title compound (0.22 g) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CHLOROFORM-d) δ 8.67 (d, 1H) 8.05 (dd, 1H) 7.70 (d, 1H) 7.04 (d, 1H) 6.74 (dd, 1H) 6.63 (d, 1H) 3.33-4.01 (m, 6H) 2.42-2.55 (m, 4H) 2.30 (s, 3H); MS m/z (M+H) 326.
