Reaction Steps

A mixture of (6-bromo-quinolin-2-yl)-(2-methoxy-benzyl)-amine (see example 2, step A) (500 mg, 1.46 mmol), zinc cyanide (188 mg, 1.6 mmol) and tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (168 mg, 0.145 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was heated at 160° C. for 15 min in a microwave reactor. The reaction mixture was poured into water (30 ml) and extracted with diethyl ether (2×50 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2×30 ml), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/heptane) on silica gel to yield 2-(2-methoxy-benzylamino)-quinoline-6-carbonitrile as light red oil (400 mg, 95%).
