Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,1-dimethylethyl 5-[cis-3,5-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl]-2-(methyloxy)-3-pyridinecarboxylate (D24) (500 mg, 1.56 mmol), potassium carbonate (430 mg, 3.12 mmol) and benzyl bromide (266 mg, 1.56 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase washed with water, dried and evaporated. Purification by flash chromatography eluting with 5-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes gave the title compound (D25). MS (ES+) m/e 412 [M+H]+.
