Sodium hydride → tert-Butyl 3-{3-[1-(4-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)ethyl]-5-chloro-2-methoxy-6-methylphenyl}azetidine-1-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

At room temperature, sodium hydride (0.32 g, 8.0 mmol) was added to a suspension of 3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (from ChemBridge, 0.59 g, 4.0 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 25 minutes during which time the suspension became a nearly clear solution. To the resultant mixture was added a solution of tert-butyl 3-[3-chloro-5-(1-chloroethyl)-6-methoxy-2-methylphenyl]azetidine-1-carboxylate (1.35 g, 3.61 mmol, from Example 1, step 5) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified on silica gel, eluted with 0-10% MeOH in dichloromethane to give 1.03 g (59%) of the desired product as a yellow gum. The racemic products were applied on a Phenomenex Lux-Cellulose 2 column (21.1×250 mm, 5 micron particle size), eluting with 10% ethanol in hexanes at a flow rate of 18 mL/min, 4 mg/injection, to provide two enantiomers. The retention time of the first peak was 8.34 min and the retention time for the second peak was 10.92 min. Peak 1 (463 mg), LCMS calculated for C24H32ClN6O3 (M+H)+: m/z=487.2; Found: 487.1. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.21 (s, 1H), 7.37 (s, 1H), 6.30, (q, 1H), 5.40 (s, 2H), 4.23 (m, 2H), 4.17-4.00 (m, 3H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 2.58 (s, 3H), 2.16 (s, 3H), 1.76 (d, 3H), 1.37 (s, 9H) ppm.
