Toluene → (E)-N-[4-[[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridylmethoxy)phenyl]amino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolyl]-3-[(2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl]prop-2-enamide

Reaction Steps

N-[4-[[3-Chloro-4-(2-pyridylmethoxy)phenyl]amino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolyl]-2-diethoxyphosphoryl-acetamide 1d (50 mg, 0.08 mmol) was dissolved in 2 mL of tetrahydrofuran at −78° C., followed by dropwise addition of a solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1 M) in toluene (80 μL, 0.08 mmol). After the mixture was stirred for 45 minutes, (2S)-1-methylpyrrolidine-2-carbaldehyde 1b (20 mg, 0.17 mmol) was added. After stirring for another 1 hour, the reaction mixture was warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was added with 1 mL of water and 1 mL of methanol, then the organic extracts were extracted with dichloromethane (50 mL×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated brine (30 mL×2), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with elution system A to obtain the title compound (E)-N-[4-[[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridylmethoxy)phenyl]amino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolyl]-3-[(2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl]prop-2-enamide 1 (25 mg, yield 53.5%) as a yellow solid.
