Procedure: To a suspension of 2-cyano-N-(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (1.75 g, 6.75 mmol) in 8.2 mL of iso-propanol was added triethylorthoformate (1.5 g, 10.1 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux. After 20 minutes, 4-methoxy-3-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-propoxy]-phenylamine in 20 mLs of iso-propanol was added dropwise so as to maintain reflux. After 26 hours, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and the suspended solids were filtered. The solids were rinsed with iso-propanol until effluent was colorless. The yellow solid was dried in vacuo to give 3.45 g (93%) of 2-cyano-N-(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-{4-methoxy-3-[3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-propoxy]-phenylamino}-acrylamide as a mixture of isomers. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 11.35 (br d, 1H), 8.17 (m, 2H), 7.76 (d, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 6.88 (m, 1H) 6.69 (m, 2H), 4.10 (t, J=7 Hz, 2H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 3.87 (s, 3), 2.55 (t, J=7 Hz, 2H), 2.48 (m, 8H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.06 (m, 2H); MS (ES) m/z548.1 (M+) The mixture was heated to reflux to maintain reflux After 26 hours the suspended solids were filtered The solids were rinsed with iso-propanol until effluent The yellow solid was dried in vacuo

Procedure: A suspension of 2-cyano-N-(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (3.2 g, 12.4 mmol) and [3-iodo-4-(2-methoxyethoxy)phenyl]amine (4.0 g, 13.7 mmol) in 350 mL of iso-propanol was heated to reflux and triethylorthoformate (5.6 mL, 33.7 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 3 hours. Additional triethylorthoformate (2.0 mL, 12.0 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with iso-propanol, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate and then dried in vacuo to give 5.5 g of 2-cyano-N-(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-{[3-iodo-4-(2-methoxyethoxy)phenyl]amino}acrylamide as a yellow solid, mp 209-210° C.; MS (ES) 560.0, 562.1 (M−H)− was heated to reflux The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 3 hours the reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight the solid was collected by filtration washed with iso-propanol, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate dried in vacuo
