Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-methyl-2-[4-(2-{[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]amino}ethyl)phenoxy]propanoate (3.0 g; 7.05 mmol) in 8 ml of DMF was treated with 6-chloronicotinaldehyde (0.91 g; 6.42 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.97 g; 7.05 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 150C for 4 hr. Upon cooling, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 0.05N HCl. The organic phase was washed with 0.05N HCl and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography using ethyl acetate-hexane mixtures (5–50%) afforded the title compound (2.3 g; 68% yield).
