Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL round-bottomed flask were added 4-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)morpholine (0.523 g, 2.87 mmol), 4-aminophenol (0.451 g, 2.88 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.18 g, 3.45 mmol) and DMSO (5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 8 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through SCX cartridges, and rinsed with DCM, MeOH, and 2.0 ammonia in MeOH. The ammonia rinses were combined and concentrated. The crude product was adsorbed onto a plug of silica gel and chromatographed through a Biotage pre-packed silica gel column (40M), eluting with a gradient of 1% to 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2, to provide 4-(3-morpholinopyridin-2-yloxy)benzenamine. MS: [M+1]=272.1
