Reaction Steps

Using General Procedure A: 3,3″-dimethyl-1′,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-hexahydro-[2,2′;6′,2″]terpyridine (91.3 mg, 0.341 mmol), 1-(3-Bromo-propyl)-1H-imidazole (129 mg, 0.680 mmol), KI (5.6 mg, 0.034 mmol), DIPEA (0.18 mL, 1.02 mmol), and DMF (3.4 mL) were stirred at 60° C. overnight. Purification of the crude material by flash chromatography on silica gel (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 90:5:5) followed by radial chromatography on a 1 mm TLC grade silica gel plate (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 96:2:2) afforded the free base of the title compound (48 mg, 38%) as a colorless oil.
