Reaction Steps

Made 2.25 mmol of 5-bromo-but-2-enoyl chloride by mixing 386 μl (2.25 mmol) trimethylsilyl 4-bromo-but-2-enoate, 10 ml methylene chloride, 294 μl (3.38 mmol) oxalyl chloride, and 2 drops of DMF. After bubbling had subsided, removed solvent and dissolved in 10 ml THF. This solution was added to a mixture of 800 mg (2.25 mmol) 6-amino-4-[(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)amino]-3-quinolinecarbonitrile, 50 ml THF, and 392 μl (2.25 mmol) N,N-diisopropylethylamine chilled to 0° C. under N2. At 1 hour, added dropwise to a solution of 5.62 ml of 2.0M dimethyl amine in THF (11.2 mmol) at -78° C. Removed dry ice bath after complete addition. After 2 hours, poured into a cold solution of sodium bicarbonate, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried organic layer with sodium sulfate and reduced solvent to a small volume. Loaded onto a column of silica gel and eluted with 50% methanol/ethyl acetate. Stripped solvent of desired fractions and dried in vacuo, giving 386 mg of yellow solid: mass spectrum (electrospray m/e): M+H=467.9, 469.9.
