Diisopropylethylamine → Methyl-(2-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-{2-[2-methyl-3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzo[b]thiophen-6-yloxy]-ethyl}-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 40 mg (0.109 mmol) Methyl-{2-[2-methyl-3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzo[b]thiophen-6-yloxy]-ethyl}-amine (example 51.1), 0.0211 g (0.164 mmol) of 4-chloro-2-methyl-pyrimidine [Ger. Offen. (1990), DE3905364 A1]and 0.038 ml (0.22 mmol) N-ethyl-diisopropylamine in 1 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred for 2 hours at 80° C. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, poured into 30 ml of ice-water and extracted 3 times with 10 ml of ether. The combined ether phases were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue formed was chromatographed on silica gel with a 95:5:1 v/v/v mixture of dichloromethane, methanol and saturated aqueous ammonia as the eluent giving 37.3 mg (74.5%) Methyl-(2-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-{2-[2-methyl-3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzo[b]thiophen-6-yloxy]-ethyl}-amine as light brown solid, MS: 458 (MH+).
