Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxy-benzyl)-piperidin-4-ylamine (39.7 mg, 0.15 mmol, 1.2 equiv; intermediate A1) in dry DMF (1.5 mL) under Ar was added sodium hydride (6.6 mg, 0.15 mmol, 1.2 equiv; 55% free-flowing powder moistened with oil) and the reaction mixture stirred at rt. After 2 h, 2,6-dichloro-pyridine (18.5 mg, 0.125 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available) was added and the mixture heated by microwave irradiation to 140° C. for 1 h. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification by preparative HPLC on reversed phase eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile/water provided 1.1 mg (2%) of the title compound. MS (ISP): 376.3 [M+H]+.
