Potassium Iodide → [(4-Chloro-benzyl)-(1-{3-[7-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-11H-10-oxa-1-aza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene]-propyl}-pyrrolidin-3-yl)-amino]-acetic Acid Methyl Ester

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [(4-Chloro-benzyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yl-amino]-acetic acid methyl ester (188 mg, 0.67 mmol) in isopropanol (5 mL) was added 2,6-lutidine (186 uL, 1.6 mmol), and a catalytic amount of potassium iodide. The resultant solution was heated at 80° C. and to it was added 2-[5-(3-Bromo-propylidene)-5,11-dihydro-10-oxa-1-aza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-7-yl]-propan-2-ol (149 mg, 0.4 mmol) portionwise over 0.5 h. The reaction solution was heated overnight then partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The product was purified on SiO2 (ethyl acetate: Methanol: triethylamine 95:4.5:0.4) and isolated as a film. LCMS (retention time=1.84, ES+; 576); 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ 8.46 (1H, d), 7.76 (1H, d), 7.45 (2H, m), 7.23 (5H, m), 6.74 (1H, d), 6.15 (1H, m), 3.72 (2H, m), 3.60 (4H, s), 3.30 (6H, m), 2.78 (4H, m), 2.42 (2H, m), 2.05 (1H, m), 1.82 (1H, m), 1.50 (6H, s).
