Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-(4-piperidyl)methanone dihydrochloride (50.65 g, 178.2 mmol), 3-bromo-4-chloro-5-fluoro-pyridine hydrochloride 18 (40 g, 162 mmol) and dipotassium carbonate (94.04 g, 680.4 mmol) in NMP (400 mL) was heated at 150° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature then filtered to remove inorganic salts and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (800 mL), washed with brine (100 mL×4), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a brown viscous oil. This residue was purified by silica gel column (approx 800 g of silica), product loaded onto silica in DCM, then eluting with 3% methanol (containing 10% ammonium hydroxide)/DCM to afford the desired product as a brown oil which crystallised on standing (27.44 g, 44%). MS (ES+) 387.1.
