(Z)-tert-butyl 5-chloro-3-((2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)methyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl(cyclopropyl)carbamate (75 mg, 0.18 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (0.6 mL). 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile (41 mg, 0.27 mmol) and K2CO3 (75 mg, 0.54 mmol) were added. After 24 h, H2O (3.5 mL) was added to the reaction and the bright yellow precipitate was filtered and dried. The crude solid was dissolved in dichloromethane (1 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL). After 1 h, the reaction was concentrated to dryness and the residue was triturated with Et2O (3 mL) and filtered to provide (Z)-3-chloro-4-(7-(cyclopropylamino)-3-((2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)methyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-yloxy)benzonitrile (45 mg, 57% over two steps) as a bright yellow solid.
