Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(5-cyano-7-isopropyl-1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)-N-(pyrrolidin-3-ylmethyl)benzamide (78 mg) in 2 ml of methanol was added 558 μl of triethylamine and 50 mg of 1-bromo-4-(bromomethyl)benzene. The solution was heated to 150° C. via microwave for 30 min, cooled, and purified via column chromatography on a Biotage Horizon 40M column eluting with 1 column volume of 100% hexanes, followed by a gradient of 0 to 100% ethyl acetate in hexanes over 10 column volumes, followed by 6 column volumes at 100% ethyl acetate to provide the title compound (75 mg, 68%). Mass spectrum (ESI) 559.0 (M+2). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.32 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.96 (s, 1H), 7.91 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.52 (s, 1H), 7.42 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.16 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 3.52 (m, 3H), 2.98 (td, J=9.1, 2.9, 1H), 2.76 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 2.58 (m, 2H), 2.32 (m, 1H), 2.14 (m, 1H), 1.68 (m, 1H), 1.48 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 6H).
