Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonic acid 2-[6-(5-cyano-pyridin-3-yl)-naphthalen-2-yl]-ethyl ester (Example 81B, 190 mg, 0.54 mmol), (2R)-2-methylpyrrolidine (138 mg, 1.62 mmol, 3.0 equiv.), and cesium carbonate (176 mg, 0.54 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (6 mL) were stirred in a sealed tube at 50° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous Na2CO3. The organic layer was washed with brine, then dried (MgSO4), and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (98:2:trace dichloromethane/methanol/NH4OH). Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the free base of the title compound as a white solid (105.9 mg, 57% yield). This free base was dissolved in methanol and treated with excess dioxane-HCl. Ether was added to induce crystallization of the dihydrochloride salt of the title compound. 1H NMR (CD3OD, 300 MHz) δ 9.26 (br s, 1H), 8.97 (br s, 1H), 8.68 (s, 1H), 8.29 (s, 1H), 8.05 (s, 1H), 8.02 (s, 1H), 7.90 (br s, 1H), 7.88 (dd, J=2, 9 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 3.84-3.49 (m, 7H), 2.45-2.30 (m, 1H), 2.27-1.99 (m, 2H), 1.84-1.69 (m, 1H), 1.50 (d, J=6 Hz, 3H). MS (DCI-NH3) [M+H]+ at 342.
