Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 1-methyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (260 mg, 1056 μmol) in MeOH was treated with NaOH (1000 μl, 5000 μmol) in H2O (3 mL). The mixture was heated to 60° C. for 30 min and then cooled to room temperature. Then, the mixture was neutralized with aq. HCl (5 N, 1.1 mL) and concentrated to dryness. The residue was further dried with (azeotrope distillation with toluene, 3×5 mL). The resulting carboxylic acid was mixed with 5-(7-methoxyquinolin-4-yloxy)pyridin-2-amine (282 mg, 1054 μmol), Et3N (500 μl, 3587 μmol), and HATU (401 mg, 1054 μmol) in DMF (4 mL)-dichloromethane (5 mL) and was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h. Upon cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc containing 10% MeOH (30 mL) and washed with H2O. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and eluded on silica (1-10% 2N NH3-MeOH in CHCl3). The product was further purified on preparative HPLC to afford a white powder (100 mg, 20%).
