Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-N-(3-iodo-4-methyl-phenyl)-nicotinamide (50 mg, 0.13 mmol), a catalytic amount of DMAP, diisopropylethyl amine (0.07 mL, 0.41 mmol), 4-(piperazin-1-yl)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (94 mg, 0.41 mmol) in 5 mL in dioxane was heated at 120° C. in a sealed tube for about 23 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, followed addition of another portion of 4-(piperazin-1-yl)-benzoic acid ethyl ester (94 mg, 0.41 mmol) and diisopropyl ethyl amine (0.07 mL, 0.41 mmol) and the mixture was re-heated at 120° C. for 3 more days. The reaction mixture was then cooled and partitioned between EtOAc and aq. saturated Na2CO3. The organic layer was then collected, dried over Na2SO4 filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed with a silica gel column and 20-40% EtOAc in hexanes to afford the product (23 mg. Yield: 65%). HRMS m/z calcd for C26H27N4O3I [M+H]: 571.1201. Found: 571.1197.
