Participants

Reaction Steps

(5-Bromo-2-chloro-3-methyl-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (2.0 g, 7.2 mmol), N-methylpiperazine (960 μL, 8.6 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (3.3 g, 10.1 mmol) are suspended in toluene (80 mL). Pd(OAc)2 (81 mg, 0.36 mmol) and BINAP (224 mg, 0.36 mmol) are added and the reaction is stirred at 100° C. overnight. The mixture is filtered through Celite and the solvent is evaporated. The residue is purified by FCC (AcOEt/AcOH/H2O 60:15:15) to afford 2-[2-chloro-3-methyl-5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-acetic acid methyl ester. The ester is suspended in NH4OH 25% (60 mL). The mixture is stirred overnight at RT and the precipitate is filtered off to yield the amide. 1H NMR (DMSO, 400 MHz) δ 2.20 (s, 3H), 2.27 (s, 3H), 2.40-2.45 (m, 4H), 3.07-3.13 (m, 4H), 3.48 (s, 2H), 6.78 (s, 1H), 6.82 (s, 1H), 6.91 (br s, 1H), 7.34 (br s, 1H).
