1,1'-(9,9-Dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(1,1-diphenylphosphine) → Tert-butyl 3-(2-chloro-5-cyano-3-((7-cyano-4-(ethyl(4-methoxybenzyl)amino)-imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 3-(3-amino-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (Example 357D) (154 mg, 0.500 mmol), 2-chloro-4-(ethyl(4-methoxybenzyl)amino)imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine-7-carbonitrile (Intermediate 10) (172 mg, 0.500 mmol), Cs2COs (326 mg, 1.00 mmol), DPPF (27.7 mg, 0.050 mmol), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethyxanthene (29 mg, 0.050 mmol), and Pd(OAc)2 (34 mg, 0.150 mmol) in a microwave vial was flushed with nitrogen. Dioxane (5 mL) was added and vial was sealed and heated at 100° C. for 3 hr. After cooling to RT, the reaction was partitioned between EtOAc and water and then filtered through celite. The solvent was removed and radial silica gel chromatography eluting with hexane containing 5 to 40% EtOAc afforded tert-butyl 3-(2-chloro-5-cyano-3-((7-cyano-4-(ethyl(4-methoxybenzyl)amino)-imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (207 mg, 67% yield) as a foam. It was dissolved in DCM (0.6 mL) and anisole (30 uL, 0.272 mmol) and TFA (0.4 mL) were added. After 2 hr, the solvent was removed and the residue was applied onto an SCX cartridge using a 1:1 mixture of DCM and MeOH. This was washed with MeOH and eluted with a 1:1 mixture of 1N NH3 in MeOH and DCM to give crude 2-((3-(azetidin-3-yl)-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)amino)-4-(ethylamino)imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine-7-carbonitrile (70 mg). A sample was purified by preparative HPLC (Column: Waters XBridge C18, 19×200 mm, 5-μm particles; Mobile Phase A: water with 20-mM ammonium acetate; Mobile Phase B: 95:5 methanol:water with 20-mM ammonium acetate; Gradient: 25-65% B over 20 minutes, then a 5-minute hold at 100% B; Flow: 20 mL/min) to give the title compound. This was converted to the momo HCl salt.
