Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture solution of 2-(3-bromo-phenyl)-6-chloro-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-8-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.5 g, 3.7 mmol), 1-methyl-piperazine (2.5 g, 14.7 mmol), copper(I) iodide (282 mg, 1.48 mmol), N,N-dimethylglycine hydrochloride (413 mg, 2.96 mmol) and potassium carbonate (5.6 g, 40.7 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (8.0 mL) was stirred at 120° C. for 16 hours. Then the reaction mixture cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL), washed with water (2×50 mL) and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (2×50 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to afford 6-chloro-3,3-dimethyl-2-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-8-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.3 g, 80%) as a light yellow oil which was used for next step without further purification: LC/MS m/e calcd for C24H30ClN3O2 (M+H)+: 428.98, observed: 428.1.
