Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 3-(bromomethyl)-2-phenyl-N-[(1S)-1-phenylpropyl]quinoline-4-carboxamide (8) (2.9 g, 6.32 mmol) in anhydrous THF (35 mL) under N2 was added sodium thiomethoxide (NaSMe, 880 mg, 12.64 mmol) and reaction stirred 1.5 h. It was then diluted with EtOAc; washed with aqueous 0.3 N NaOH, then H2O, then brine; dried over Na2SO4; filtered; and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-15% EtOAc/CH2Cl2) to give the desired product (2.5 g, 90% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, 52° C.) δ 8.10 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.72-7.60 (m, 3H), 7.53-7.25 (m, 9H), 6.68 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 5.29 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (q, J=13.7 Hz, 2H), 2.19-1.90 (m, 2H), 1.77 (s, 3H), 1.03 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H); LCMS: m/z 427 (MH+).
