Reaction Steps

1-Methyl-4-[3-(3-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-4-nitro-phenyl]-piperazine (60 mg, 0.18 mmol, as prepared in the previous step) was stirred with 40 mg 5% Pd—C in MeOH (5 mL) under H2 (1 atm) for 2 h. The reaction was filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to afford 40 mg (72%) of 4-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-(3-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-phenylamine as a brown solid, which was used immediately without further purification. Using a procedure similar to Example 9, step (c), 4-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-(3-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-phenylamine (40 mg, 0.13 mmol) was allowed to react with 5-cyano-furan-2-carbonyl chloride (30 mg, 0.19 mmol, as prepared in Example 9, step (c)) in the presence of DIEA (61 μL, 0.34 mmol) to afford 18.9 mg (36%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3; 400 MHz): δ 2.13 (s, 3H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 2.59-2.62 (m, 4H), 3.24-3.27 (m, 4H), 6.92 (d, 1H, J=2.8 Hz), 7.06 (d, 1H, J=5.1Hz), 7.15 (d, 1H, J=3.7 Hz), 7.19 (d, 1H, J=3.7 Hz), 7.02 (dd, 1H, J=2.8, 9.0 Hz), 7.42 (d, 1H, J=5.1 Hz), 8.11 (s, 1H), 8.34 (d, 1H, J=9.0 Hz); Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C22H22N4O2S, 407.1 (M+H), found 407.1.
