Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, 39 mg (0.2 mmol) of CuI, 0.6 g (4.0 mmol) of NaI, and 43 μL N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine are added to a solution of 0.69 g (2.0 mmol) of 6-bromo-4-methyl-2-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)quinoline in 2 mL of 1,4-dioxane and the reaction mixture is shaken for 14 hours at 110° C. After cooling, it is combined with 60 mL of EtOAc, and the organic phase is washed twice with 20 mL of 5% NH3 solution and dried over magnesium sulfate. After the desiccant and solvent have been eliminated, the residue is reacted further without purification. Yield: 0.65 g (88% of theoretical); C16H19IN2 (M=366.240); calc.: molpeak (M+H)+: 367; found: molpeak (M+H)+: 367; HPLC-MS: 7.0 min (method A).
