Reaction Steps

(6-Chloro-4-pyridin-3-yl-quinolin-2-yl)-(2-methoxy-benzyl)-amine (185 mg, 0.492 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL toluene and 1 mL tert. butanol. Argon was bubbled through the solution for 2 minutes to remove oxygen. 3-Picolylamine (160 mg, 1.48 mmol), sodium tert.-butylate (95 mg, 0.99 mmol), palladium acetate (6 mg, 0.027 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexyl-phosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (X-Phos, 23 mg, 0.05 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred in a sealed tube at 130° C. for 16 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol 100:0->90:10 gradient). The title compound was obtained as a yellow foam (105 mg, 47%), MS: m/e=448.3 (M+H+).
