Procedure

A suspension of (4-(1-(3-(cyanomethyl)-1-(ethylsulfonyl)azetidin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)methyl pivalate (20, 1.0 g, 2.06 mmol) in methanol (MeOH, 5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (THF, 20 mL) was treated with a 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH, 2.3 mL, 2.3 mmol, 1. 12 equiv) at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2-3 h. When HPLC showed that the reaction was deemed complete, the reaction mixture was quenched with water (10 mL) and a 1 N aqueous HCl solution (0.2 mL) to adjust pH to 7-7.5 at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min before the solids were collected by filtration. The solids were washed with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (2/3 by volume, 2×4 mL) and dried in vacuum at 40-45° for 24 h to afford crude 2-(3-(4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1-(ethylsulfonyl)azetidin-3-yl)acetonitrile (14, 658 mg, 765 mg theoretical, 86% yield) as off-white solids, which was found to be identical to the material prepared by Method A. For crude 14: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 12.15 (s, 1H), 8.94 (s, 1H), 8.72 (s, 1H), 8.49 (s, 1H), 7.63 (d, 1H), 7.09 (d, 1H), 4.62 (d, 2H), 4.25 (d, 2H), 3.71 (s, 2H), 3.24 (q, 2H), 1.26 (t, 3H) ppm; C16H17N7O2S (MW, 371.42), LCMS (EI) m/e 372 (M++H).
