Reaction Steps

To a microwave reaction vessel was added ethyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (3.7 g, 13 mmol), 6-bromoquinolin-2-amine (2.0 g, 9.0 mmol), PdCl2(PPh(t-Bu)2)2 (0.084 g, 0.13 mmol), potassium acetate (1.8 g, 18 mmol), EtOH (9.9 ml, 170 mmol) and water (2.4 ml, 134 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 85° C. for 8 h, and was then partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with water and brine and allowed to stand for 72 h. The supernatant was decanted from the resulting precipitate and the precipitate was dried in vacuo to give ethyl 2-(2-aminoquinolin-6-yl)benzoate. Step 2 6-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)quinolin-2-amine (1.0 g, 3.8 mmol) was taken up in THF and then 5N NaOH was added and the solution was stirred for 72 h. DCM was added and the solid was filtered to give ethyl 2-(2-aminoquinolin-6-yl)benzoate. Step 3 A solution of 2-(2-aminoquinolin-6-yl)benzoic acid (50 mg, 0.19 mmol), 4-fluoropiperidine (25 mg, 0.24 mmol), HATU (91 mg, 0.24 mmol), DIEA (100 uL, 0.57 mmol), and DMF (1 mL) was heated in a shaker oven at 60° C. for 1 h. The resulting solution was purified by HPLC (CH3CN/water modified with 0.1% TFA) to give (2-(2-aminoquinolin-6-yl)phenyl)(4-fluoropiperidin-1-yl)methanone. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 350 (M+1).
