Nitrogen → 3-(Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-ylethynyl)-4-methyl-N-(4-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Ethynylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (37 mg, 0.26 mmol), 3-iodo-4-methyl-N-(4-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzamide (103.4 mg, 0.2 mmol), (prepared as in Example 2), Pd[(PPh3)4](11.6 mg, 5 mol %), and CuI (2.9 mg, 7.5 mmol %) was placed in a vial with rubber septum. The mixture underwent 3 cycles of vacuum/filling with N2, and DMF (1.5 ml) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (53 mL, 0.3 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at rt for 16 h, and the reaction was quenched with H2O. EtOAc and more water were added for extraction. The combined organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: 5% MeOH in methylene chloride, MeOH was pre-saturated with ammonia gas), giving the titled compound as an off-white solid (53%, 56 mg): MS (M+H)+ 532.
