“…The intermediate 6-chloro-N 2 -mesityl-N 4 -(1-Boc-piperidin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (3) was prepared from structurally symmetrical 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3, 5-triazine (1) by substitution reaction with 2,4,6-trimethylaniline and 4-amino-1-Boc-piperidine successively in mild reaction conditions. 20 Treatment of intermediate 3 with ammonia under high temperature in sealed reactor, 21 aqueous methylamine and sodium methoxide gave the intermediate 4a, 4b and 4c, respectively. 22 Boc group was removed in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at room temperature to afford 5a, 5b and 5c, which were alkylated at the N atom of piperidine, achieving the final compounds 6a1-6a8, 6b1-6b5 and 6c1-6c5, respectively.…”
