Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed tert-butyl N-(4-[[(3S)-3-[(methanesulfonyloxy)methyl]-7-thia-9,11-diazatricyclo[6.4.0.0[2,6]]dodeca-1(8),2 (6),9,11-tetraen-12-yl]oxy]cyclohexyl)-N-methylcarbamate (900 mg, 1.76 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in 6 mL of DMSO at room temperature. NaCN (600 mg, 12.24 mmol, 6.96 equiv) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (100 mg, 0.82 mmol, 0.47 equiv) were added and the resulting solution was stirred for 2 h at 80° C. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched with water and extracted with 3×50 mL of ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:4) to provide tert-butyl N-(4-[[(3R)-3-(cyanomethyl)-7-thia-9,11-diazatricyclo[6.4.0.0[2,6]]dodeca-1(8),2 (6),9,11-tetraen-12-yl]oxy]cyclohexyl)-N-methylcarbamate (709 mg, 91%) as a white solid. MS: m/z 443 (M+H)+.
