Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Combine 1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)-3-(2-(4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-amino)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)pyrrolidine (0.54 g, 0.82 mmol) and dimethylformamide (15 mL). Add sodium hydride (0.07 g, 60% in oil, 1.8 mmol). After 1 hour, add 2-chloroethyl ethyl ether (1 mL). Heat to 100° C. After 18 hours, cool to ambient temperature and dilute the reaction mixture with dichloromethane. Extract three times with water, dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting with 25/75/1 methanol/ethyl acetate/triethylamine. Collect the product containing fractions, evaporate in vacuo to give a residue, and chromatograph on silica gel eluting with 20/80/0.5 methanol ethyl acetate/triethylamine to give the title compound: Rf=0.23 (silica gel, 30% methanol/ethyl acetate).
