Reaction Steps

Following GENERAL METHOD 3-1 for phenol deprotection using thiophenol, 3-(2-methoxy-4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenyl)-6-((2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)oxy)pyridazine (0.58 mg, 1.41 mmol) was treated with thiophenol (0.15 mg, 1.36 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.23 mg, 1.64 mmol) in NMP (9 mL) for 15 min at 190° C. After purification (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid as modifier), desired fractions were free based by catch and release using SiliaBond Propylsulfonic Acid® (5 g, MeOH as eluent and a 2 N ammonia solution in MeOH to release the material). The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting beige solid was dissolved in CH3CN/H2O/MeOH (6/1/6 mL) and SiliaMetS® DMT (2.7 g, 1.4 mmol) was added and the mixture was shaken 18 h. The mixture was then filtered through a small celite plug and the filtrate was purified by catch and release using SiliaBond Propylsulfonic Acid® (5 g, MeOH as eluent and a 2 N ammonia solution in MeOH to release the material). The solvent was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting solid was suspended in CH3CN/H2O (4/1 mL). 4 N HCl in 1,4-dioxane (4 equivalents) was added and solvent was concentrated in vacuo to afford a yellow solid (59 mg, 9%). LCMS RT=0.51 min (LCMS method Q); [M+H]: 394.2225; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.10 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 1H), 8.49 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 8.36 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 1H), 8.16 (s, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.47 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 7.21-7.28 (m, 2H), 5.63-5.87 (m, 1H), 2.34 (dd, J=13.0, 4.0 Hz, 2H), 1.81 (dd, J=13.0, 10.5 Hz, 2H), 1.53 (s, 6H), 1.50 (s, 6H).
