2-chloro-N-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-N-methylacetamide

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 3-chloro-5-[(5-chloro-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-4-yl)oxy]benzonitrile (25 mg, 0.082 mmol) and lithium tert-butoxide (6.9 mg, 0.089 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (0.5 mL) and allowed to stir for 5 minutes. After this time, the reaction was cooled to 0° C. and 2-chloro-N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-N-methylacetamide as a solution in DMF (0.5 mL) was added dropwise. This was allowed to warm to room temperature and after 16 hours, the reaction was quenched with TFA, diluted with MeCN and purified by reverse phase chromatography eluting with 30-95% MeCN/H2O+0.1% TFA. Product fractions were lyophilized to yield the title compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.84 (m, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (m, 1H), 7.51 (m, 1H), 7.47 (m, 1H), 7.35 (m, 3H), 6.05 (s, 2H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 3.20 (s, 3H). to warm to room temperature and after 16 hours the reaction was quenched with TFA diluted with MeCN purified by reverse phase chromatography eluting with 30-95% MeCN/H2O+0.1% TFA

Procedure: To a flask charged with 3-chloro-5-{[2-oxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl]oxy}benzonitrile (3C, 0.020 g, 0.064 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.0088 g, 0.064 mmol) was added 2-chloro-N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-N-methylacetamide in dimethylformamide (0.75 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature. After 1.5 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was purified by preparative HPLC Phenomenex Luna C18 100A 10μ, eluting with 30-95% MeCN/H2O+0.1% TFA. and lyophilized to yield the title compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.90-7.84 (m, 1H), 7.76-7.74 (m, 1H), 7.54-7.43 (m, 3H), 7.42-7.32 (m, 1H), 7.31-7.26 (m, 2H), 7.23-7.19 (m, 1H), 6.68-6.62 (m, 1H), 5.09 (s, 1.35H), 4.80 (s, 0.65H), 4.72 (s, 0.65H), 4.59 (s, 1.35H), 3.06 (s, 2H), 2.82 (s, 1H).
