Reaction Steps

A 10-mL vial was charged with ethyl 2-(4-((2-(3-hydroxycyclopentyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]pyridin-4-yl)amino)phenyl)acetate (Diastereomer B, 0.056 g, 0.147 mmol), methanol (3 mL) and ammonia (4.2 mL, 7N in methanol, 29.4 mmol). The vial was sealed and the resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 23 h. LCMS analysis of the cooled reaction showed ˜66% conversion. Additional ammonia (1.0 mL, 7N in methanol, 7.0 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 h. The cooled reaction mixture solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was absorbed on silica (4 g) then purified by chromatography on silica using dichloromethane/(80:20:1 dichloromethane/methanol/conc. NH4OH) (10:0 to 0:10) as the eluent to afford the title compound (0.034 g, 67%) as an off-white solid. MW=351.44. M.p. 93-95° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) δ 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.42 (s, 1H), 7.24-7.20 (m, 2H), 7.13-7.09 (m, 2H), 6.85 (br s, 1H), 6.64 (s, 1H), 5.60 (br s, 1H), 4.13-4.07 (m, 1H), 3.33 (s, 2H), 3.03 (quin, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 2.78 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.74 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.09-1.98 (m, 3H), 1.95-1.86 (m, 1H), 1.77-1.56 (m, 4H). MS: APCI, m/z 352 [M+H]+.
