Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-chloro-4-(methylamino)nicotinaldehyde (3.7 g, 21.7 mmol), methyl 2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)acetate (4.5 g, 21.7 mmol) and potassium carbonate (9.0 g, 65.1 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) was heated at 105° C. for 5 h. LCMS showed the reaction was completed. The reaction was cooled to RT, quenched with water (200 mL), and filtered. The filtration cake was washed by petroleum ether (50 mL) and ethyl acetate (50 mL) to afford the title compound (5.8 g, 77%) as a yellow solid. MS (ES+) C18H19ClN2O3 requires: 346, 348. Found: 347, 349 [M+H]+.
