Reaction Steps

Into a solution of {1-{1-[3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl]piperidin-4-yl}-3-[4-(7-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]azetidin-3-yl}acetonitrile (56 mg, 0.1 mmol) in methylene chloride (1.5 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (1.5 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After removing the solvents in vacuum, the residue was dissolved in a methanol solution containing 20% ethylenediamine. After being stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, the solution was purified by HPLC (method B) to give the title compound. LC-MS: 554.3 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 9.71 (s, 1H), 8.82 (s, 1H), 8.55 (d, J=4.6 Hz, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.30 (s, 1H), 7.52 (t, J=4.6 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (dd, J1=3.4 Hz, J2=1.5 Hz, 1H), 6.77 (dd, J1=3.6 Hz, J2=0.7 Hz, 1H), 4.18 (m, 1H), 3.75 (m, 2H), 3.63 (dd, J1=7.8 Hz, J2=3.7 Hz, 2H), 3.45 (m, 2H), 3.38 (s, 2H), 3.11 (m, 1H), 2.57 (m, 1H), 1.72 (m, 1H), 1.60 (m, 1H), 1.48 (m, 1H), 1.40 (m, 1H).
