Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-chloro-N-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-2-[(4-piperidinylmethyl)amino]benzamide from Example 60 (0.5 g, 1.32 mmol)in 30 mL of dimethylformamide was treated with excess ethyl bromoacetate (0.7 mL, 6.60 mmol). After heating at 70° C. for 1 h, triethylamine (0.9 ml, 6.6 mmol) was added dropwise; the reaction mixture was then heated at 70° C. for an additional 30 min, after which it was partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate and dichloromethane. The organic extract was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was applied to a 10 g SCX column which was washed with methanol and eluted with 1 N ammonia in methanol. The yellow fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford an orange oil, which was subjected to silica gel chromatography. Elution with 9:1 dichloromethane-methanol, then 9:3 dichloromethane-methanol provided 0.31 g (51%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
