Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of benzyl 4-(aminomethyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (EXAMPLE 13, STEP 1) (20.0 g, 0.081 mol), 2-chloro-5-methylpyrimidine (10.4 g, 0.081 mol) and cesium carbonate (52.5 g, 0.161 mol) in DMF (200 mL) was heated at 150° C. for 6 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt, diluted with ethyl acetate (700 mL), washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3 (200 mL), water (5×200 mL), and brine (100 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel 60 (1 kg), eluting with 50–100% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the title compound. M.S. (M+1): 341.
