Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline (1.73 g, 10 mmol), piperidine (1.09 mL, 11 mmol), and K2CO3 (1.52 g, 11 mmol) in DMF was heated to 120° C. for 24 hours. Cooled to room temperature. Partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 4:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate to provide 1.33 g (60%) of the desired product. MS (ESI) m/e 222 (M+H)+, 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): □ 7.79 (d, J=9.83 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (s, 2H), 6.37 (dd, J=9.83, 2.71 Hz, 1H), 6.19 (d, J=2.71 Hz, 1H), 3.34-3.38 (m, 4H), 1.53-1.60 (m, 6H).
