Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 4-(1-(5-formyl-2,4-dimethylbenzoyl)azetidin-3-yl)benzonitrile (compound 151.4, 159 mg, 0.50 mmol) in ethanol (16 mL). 6-Morpholinopyridine-3,4-diamine (compound 151.2, 194 mg, 1.00 mmol) and NH4OAc (308 mg, 4.00 mmol) were added to the reaction. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 days at 70° C. under air. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 8-9 with sodium bicarbonate (sat.). The reaction mixture was extracted with 1×100 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 3×50 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product (200 mg) was purified by Prep-HPLC with the following conditions (1#-Pre-HPLC-010(Waters)): Column, SunFire Prep C18 OBD Column, 5 μm, 19*150 mm; mobile phase, WATER WITH 0.05% TFA and CH3CN (20.0% CH3CN up to 36.0% in 10 min, up to 100.0% in 1 min, down to 20.0% in 2 min); Detector, UV 254 and 220 nm. This resulted in 94.1 mg (38%) of the title compound as a brown solid. m/z (ES+) 493 (M+H)+.
