Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound from example 4 (2.616 g, 8.35 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in methanol (10 ml) was quickly added methylamine (2M in methanol, 20 ml, 40 mmol, 4.79 equiv). The sealed tube was stirred overnight at 70-75° C. The resulting brown solution was evaporated to dryness and purified by chromatography (EtOAc, then 1:4 MeOH/EtOAc) provided the titled compound (1.70 g, 62.24%) as a white solid. M.p. 221.3-222.4° C.; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 1.65-1.69 (m, 2H, cyclobutyl H), 1.90-1.95 (m, 2H, cyclobutyl H), 2.14-2.21 (m, 2H, cyclobutyl H), 2.31 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.42 (s, 3H, NCH3), 4.34-4.30 (m, 1H, CH), 5.05 (s, 2H, OCH2Ph), 6.22 (s, 1H, CH), 7.39-7.30 (m, 5H, ArH), 9.08-9.06 (d, 1H, J=7.08 Hz, NH); MS (m/z) 327 (M++1), 230, 166, 91.
