4-Methoxybenzylamine → (4-Methoxy-benzyl)-[3-(3-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-6-yl)-pyridin-2-yl]-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 1:1 mixture of 6-(2-Chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-3-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and 6-(2-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-3-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (600 mg) was mixed with 15 mL of toluene along with 0.47 mL of 4-methoxybenzylamine and stirred under reflux for 5 days. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between CH2Cl2 and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to afford the crude product. Purification by chromatography (Isco, gradient elution, CH2Cl2 to 95% CH2Cl2, 4% MeOH and 1% Et3N) afforded 200 mg of (4-methoxy-benzyl)-[3-(3-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-6-yl)-pyridin-2-yl]-amine.
