Reaction Steps

1.7 M KOH (0.634 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred mixture of (E)-3-(5-formyl-pyridin-2-yl)-acrylic acid tert-butyl ester (see Example 11 STEP A-D, 250 mg, 1.078 mmol) and 1-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-ethanone (obtained as described in Preparation 14, 250 mg, 1.078 mmol) in EtOH (15 ml). The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 7 h and then diluted with water and extracted with AcOEt. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatographic column (eluent: DCM/MeOH/NH4OH from 97:3:0.1 to 95:5:0.2) and the desired intermediate was dissolved in DCM (4 ml) and TFA (1 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 h and then the solvent was removed in vacuo to give 200 mg of (E)-3-(5-{(E)-3-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-3-oxo-propenyl}-pyridin-2-yl)-acrylic acid as its tris-trifluoroacetate salt. The crude mixture was used in the next step without further purifications.
