Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)-4-cyanobenzamide (300 mg, 0.899 mmol) was slurried in 45 ml ethanol and treated with 10 ml of ethanol saturated with HCl. The reaction was stored at 0° C. for 3 days, then heated to 75° C. for 3.0 hours, and cooled to room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction was cooled in an ice bath, and saturated with HCl gas. After storing at 0° C. for an additional 3 days, N2 gas was bubbled through the solution for 1.0 hour, and the solution was diluted with enough ethanol to make a 0.0155 M solution of ethyl 4-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenylcarbamoyl)benzimidate. Ethyl 4-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenylcarbamoyl)benzimidate (17.5 ml of a 0.0155 M ethanol solution, 0.27 mmol) was treated with morpholine (1.0 ml, 11.4 mmol) for 3 days. The ethanol was evaporated, and the residue purified by reverse phase HPLC to afford 30 mg of N-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)-4-(imino(morpholino)methyl)benzamide. MS (Q1) 421 (M)+.
