Reaction Steps
Using General Procedure G: To a solution of N-(3-Methyl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-N1-(1-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-propane-1,3-diamine (0.33 g, 1.16 mmol) in dry DMF (3 mL) was added 6-hydroxy-nicotinic acid (0.174 g, 1.24 mmol) followed by EDCI (0.257 g, 1.34 mmol), HOBT (0.183 g, 1.35 mmol), and DIPEA (0.40 mL, 2.30 mmol). Purification of the crude material by column chromatography on silica gel (10:1:1 CH2Cl2-MeOH—NH4OH) provided 177 mg (38%) of the free base of the title compound as a colorless oil. Conversion to the HBr salt gave COMPOUND 241 (270 mg, 83%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (D2O) δ 1.55 (d, 3H, J=6.6 Hz), 1.67 (quintet; 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 2.43 (s, 3H), 2.48-2.58 (m, 1H), 2.63-2.74 (m, 1H), 3.12-3.31 (m, 2H), 4.28 (s, 2H), 456 (q, 1H, J=6.6 Hz), 6.61 (d, 1H, J=9.3 Hz), 7.78-7.83 (m, 2H), 7.89-7.94 (m, 2H), 8.11 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 8.30 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 8.49-8.58 (m, 2H), 8.74 (d, 1H, J=5.7 Hz); 13C NMR (D2O) δ 15.07, 16.98, 26.37, 37.59, 50.21, 50.95, 59.83, 115.31, 119.32, 125.82, 126.75, 126.83, 137.21, 137.53, 138.40, 140.83, 142.09, 148.06, 148.24, 152.11, 156.20, 165.43, 166.77; ES-MS m/z 406 (M+H).
