Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[4-(3-Acetyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-benzamide (200 mg, 0.632 mmol), morpholine HCl salt (78 mg, 0.632 mmol, 1 eq.) and paraformaldehyde (19 mg, 0.632 mmol, 1 eq.) were mixed with dioxane (2 mL) in a microwave tube. It was irradiated at 180° C. for 15 minutes. The mixture was partitioned between DCM/water (10 mL/5 mL). The aqueous layer was washed further with DCM (2×10 mL). The combined organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was chromatographed using 20/1 DCM/MeOH to give N-{4-[3-(3-Morpholin-4-yl-propionyl)-phenyl]-pyridin-2-yl}-benzamide as a slightly yellow solid (100 mg, 38%). MS: m/z 416.3 [MH+].
