Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-aminoethanol (103 mg, 1.689 mmol) in MeOH (1.5 mL), AcOH was added until the pH reached 5. 2-(2-(4-acetyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetamido)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxamide (50 mg, 0.121 mmol) was added before the addition of (7.6 mg, 0.121 mmol) of sodium cyanoborohydride. The reaction was heated by microwave irradiation to 100° C. for 20 min. The reaction mixture was filtered before purification by preparative reverse phase HPLC. The product fractions were acidified to pH 4 before applying to a strong cation exchange cartridge (500 mg). The cartridge was washed with DCM/MeOH (1:1) before eluting the product with 2M NH3 in MeOH. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give the title compound (8.3 mg, 0.018 mmol, 15%).
