Reaction Steps

N′-(2-cyano-4-methoxy-5-[(2R)-pyrrolidin-2-ylmethoxy]phenyl)-N,N-dimethylimidoformamide (1.23 g, 4.06 mmol) in dimethylformamide (13 ml) was reacted with 2-(2-bromoethoxy)-2-methylpropane (809 mg, 4.47 mmol) in the presence of potassium carbonate (842 mg, 6.1 mmol) at 50° C. for 5 hours. The solvent was then evaporated, and the residue purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with dichloromethane:methanol (98:2) then (95:5), to yield N′-(5-{[(2R)-1-(2-tert-butoxyethyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]methoxy}-2-cyano-4-methoxyphenyl)-N,N-dimethylimidoformamide (908 mg, 56% yield):
