1-(3-chlorophenyl)-N-methylmethanamine

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

Procedure: To a solution of methylamine (2.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 30 ml) in N,N-dimethylformamide (30 ml), 3-chlorobenzyl chloride (2.5 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated saline in this order and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of the title compound, which was used in the next reaction without being purified. followed by extraction with ethyl acetate The extract was washed with water and saturated saline in this order dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure

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

Procedure: According to Scheme 9 Step 3: To a solution of (3-chlorophenyl)-N-methylmethanamine (1 eq, 0.19 mmol, 0.03 g), 2-(5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)acetic acid (1 eq, 0.19 mmol, 0.05 g) and hydroxybenzotriazole (1.1 eq, 0.21 mmol, 0.03 g) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL) at room temperature was added EDCI.HCl (1.5 eq, 0.29 mmol, 55 mg). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours then diluted with AcOEt. The reaction washed with brine and the organic phase extracted (×3). The combined organic fractions were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (AIT Flashsmart prepacked column 10 g SiO2) using CH2Cl2/AcOEt (50/50) as eluent to afford the N-(3-chlorobenzyl)-2-(5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)-N-methylacetamide (0.11 mmol, 44 mg, 57%) as a yellow oil. The reaction washed with brine the organic phase extracted (×3) The combined organic fractions were dried (Na2SO4) filtered concentrated under reduced pressure The crude product was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (AIT Flashsmart prepacked column 10 g SiO2)
