Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-N-(4-iodo-3-methyl-phenyl)-nicotinamide (500 mg, 1.34 mmol), ethyl isonipecotate (250 mg, 1.61 mmol) and diisopropylethyl amine (0.7 mL, 4.02 mmol) in dioxane (15 mL) was heated at 80° C. in a sealed tube for 18.5 h then at 95° C. for 9 h and then at 115° C. for an additional 24 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled, another portion of ethyl isonipecotate (250 mg, 1.61 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 115° C. for 8 h more. The mixture was then cooled and portioned between EtOAc and water. The EtOAc layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed with a silica gel column and 10-40% EtOAc in hexanes gradient to afford the product. (300 mg, Yield: 45%). HRMS m/z calcd for C21H24N3O3I [M+H]+: 494.0935. Found: 494.0937.
