Reaction Steps

870 mg (2.78 mmol) of 2-[(2-bromo-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-benzoic acid methyl ester, 53 mg (0.28 mmol) of copper (I) iodide, 1.126 g (5.5 mmol) of potassium phosphate and 0.26 ml (3.6 mmol) of pyrrolidin-2-one are refluxed in 15 ml of dioxane for 8 hours. After water is added, the dioxane is distilled off in a vacuum, made alkaline with about 12% ammonia solution and shaken out several times with ethyl acetate. The collected ethyl acetate phase is washed, dried, filtered and concentrated by evaporation. As a residue, 700 mg (77% of theory) of 2-{[2-(2-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyridin-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-benzoic acid methyl ester is obtained as a crude product, which is used without further purification in the next stage.
