Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-azetidin-3-yl-pyrazin-2-yl)-phenol hydrochloride (275 mg, 1 mmol) and 2-chloro-quinoline (163 mg, 1 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (650 mg, 2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, extracted with EtOAc (30 mL×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (30 mL) and brine (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by ISCO silica gel column (10% to 80% EtOAc in petroleum ether) to give 2-[3-(1-quinolin-2-yl-azetidin-3-yl)-pyrazin-2-yl]-phenol (56 mg, 0.16 mmol, yield 16%).
