49.8 mg (0.18 mmol) 2-(5-Azetidine-3-yl-[1,2,4]triazole-3-yl)-pyridine×2HCl are dissolved in 1.4 mL NMP. After addition of 0.06 mL triethylamine the reaction mixture is stirred for one hour. 65 mg (0.17 mmol) 6-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-5-(4-formylphenyl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester in 1.5 mL NMP and 0.02 mL acetic acid are added. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. 38.5 mg (0.18 mmol) NaBH(OAc)3, are added in portions and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is treated with saturated NaHCO3 and stirred vigorously for one hour. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with water and dried. After chromatography of the precipitate on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol) 23.4 mg (23%) of the desired product are obtained.
