Reaction Steps

Chlorosulphonic acid (150 μl, 2.16 mmol) was added dropwise to solution of 2-anilino-4-(1-cyclobutyl-2-methylimidazol-5-yl)pyrimidine (Method 61; 165 mg, 0.54 mmol) in thionyl chloride (3 ml), cooled to 0° C. and the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes then heated at 90° C. for 90 minutes. The volatiles were removed by evaporation and the residue was dried under high vacuum (<2 mmHg) for 1 hour. The resulting solid was placed under nitrogen and a solution of cyclopropylmethylamine (700 μl, 8.1 mmol) in MeOH (3 ml) added. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and the volatiles were evaporated in vacuo. Water (20 ml) was added and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (2×10 ml). The solid was dissolved in MeOH and poured onto an Isolute amine column and eluted first with MeOH (30 ml). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the resultant foam triturated with ether. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with ether (2×10 ml) and dried under vacuum at 60° C. to yield a beige solid. The solid was slurried in ether (6 ml), 1M HCl in ether (2 ml, 2 mmol) and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. The resultant solid was triturated with ether, collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to yield the title compound (174 mg, 63%) as a hygroscopic solid.
