Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxyde (pellets are finely grinded, 0.488 g, 12.2 mmol, 5 eq) is added to a solution of 4-[1-(4-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-phenol (Step 31.2) (0.714 g, 2.44 mmol) in DMF (5 mL). The mixture is stirred for 20 min at rt. 3-Dimethylamino-1-propylchloride hydrochloride (0.611 g, 3.87 mmol, 1.6 eq) is added. The reaction mixture is heated to 90° C., stirred for 10 h, allowed to cool, diluted with EtOAc/H2O and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase is washed with H2O and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue purified by silica gel column chromatography (DCM/MeOH/NH3aq, 94:5:1) to afford 0.398 g of the title compound as an impure brown oil which is used without further purification: ESI-MS: 377.1/379.0 [M+H]+; TLC: Rf=0.22 (DCM/MeOH/NH3aq, 94:5:1).
