Sodium Methoxide → HCID 57525458, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-6-[3-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-propoxy]-nicotinonitrile (Example 115) in methanol (0.2 M) was treated with sodium methoxide (4 equiv) at reflux temperature for 4 h. The mixture was cooled to rt, diluted with satd. aq. NaHCO3, and extracted with chloroform. The organic extract was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to yield 4-methoxy-6-[3-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-propoxy]-nicotinonitrile (100%). This intermediate was converted to the title compound according to Example 115. MS (electrospray): mass calculated for C23H30ClN4O2, 394.24. m/z found, 395.4 [M+H]+.
