Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 5-chloro-3-((cyclopentylmethyl)amino)-2-methylbenzoate (1.0 g, 3.54 mmol) in DMF (10 mL), cesium carbonate (2.31 g, 7.09 mmol) and ethyl iodide (5.53 g, 35.4 mmol) were added. The resulting reaction mass was heated at 80° C. for 12 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The residue was washed with ethyl acetate and the filtrate was concentrated to a residue which was purified by column chromatography to afford the title compound (1.0 g, 91%).
