Reaction Steps

The product from Example 63A (500 mg, 3.1 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was treated with 1-bromo-4-(isocyanatomethyl)benzene (0.5 mL, 3.57 mmol) with stirring and then the mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered, the filter cake was washed with toluene, and allowed to air-dry to provide the title compound. The corresponding hydrochloride salt was prepared using methanolic HCl to afford a tan solid (919 mg, 73%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.70 (s, 1H), 9.54 (s, 1H), 8.63 (s, 1H), 8.57 (dd, J=7.8 Hz, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 8.02 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.78-7.83 (m, 1H), 7.67-7.71 (m, 1H), 7.52-7.57 (m, 2H), 7.30-7.35 (m, 2H), 4.36 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 2H), 2.78 (s, 3H); MS (ESI+) m/z 370/372 (M+H, 79Br/81Br).
