Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-methylsulfanyl-3-(pyridin-4-ylamino)-acrylonitrile (0.2 g, 1.0 mmol), 4-aminomethyl-benzoic acid (0.173 g, 1.14 mmol), DMAP (1 mg) and Et3N (0.14 ml, 1.0 mmol) was added dry pyridine (0.5 ml). The resulting stirring mixture was heated to 55° C. for 4.5 hrs., additional Et3N (0.14 ml) was added and mixture was heated from 75° C. to 90° C. over a period of ˜30 hrs. When the reaction was complete, pyridine was partially removed in vacuo and the crude was purified by column chromatography (gradient of EtOAc to 20% MeOH/EtOAc) to afford the desired product as an off-white solid (130 mg, 44%).
