Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-bromo-3-(cyclopentylamino)benzoate (1.4 g, 4.69 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL), cesium carbonate (3.0 g, 9.2 mmol) and methyl iodide (3.38 g, 23.4 mmol) were added and the resulting reaction mixture heated at 80° C. for 12 h. On completion, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered and the residue washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated and then purified by column chromatography to afford desired methyl 2-bromo-3-(cyclopentyl(methyl)amino)benzoate (1.1 g, 75%).
