Conditions

Temperature: 80 °C

Procedure

To a stirred solution of methyl 5-bromo-3-(cyclohexylamino)-2-methylbenzoate (2.75 g, 8.45 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 mL), cesium carbonate (5.45 g, 16.9 mmol) and methyl iodide (6 g, 42.3 mmol) were added; resulting solution was heated at 80° C. for 20 h. On completion, the solution was cooled to room temperature and filtered, and the residue was washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated and then purified by column chromatography to afford methyl 5-bromo-3-(cyclohexyl(methyl)amino)-2-methylbenzoate (2.5 g, 87%).
