Sodium cyanoborohydride → 5-bromo-1-methyl-3-(5-(oxetan-3-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-2-ylamino)pyridin-2(1H)-one

Reaction Steps

Compound 125i was synthesized using the same procedure as 101k, where 5-bromo-1-methyl-3-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-2-ylamino)pyridin-2(1H)-one (125h) (250 mg, 0.78 mmol), and oxetan-3-one (600 mg, 8.3 mmol) in methanol (8 mL) were mixed. Sodium cyanoborohydride (148 mg, 3 mmol) and zinc chloride (165 mg, 1.5 mmol) in methanol (8 mL) was added, and the reaction was heated at 48° C. for 12 hours. Work-up and flash column chromatography (silica, 60:35:5 methylene chloride/diethyl ether/methanol) afford a 34% yield (100 mg) of 5-bromo-1-methyl-3-(5-(oxetan-3-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-2-ylamino)pyridin-2(1H)-one (125i) as a light green solid: MS (ESI+) m/z 382.1 (M+H).
