Water → 10a-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-methyl-5-oxo-N-(2-phenylethyl)-2,3,10,10a-tetrahydro-1H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[1,5-d]pyrazine-1-carboxamide

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10a-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-methyl-2,3,10,10a-tetrahydro-1H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[1,5-d]pyrazin-5-one (40 mg, 0.13 mmol) in a mixture of pyridine (400 μl) and CH2Cl2 (400 μl) was added (2-isocyanatoethyl)benzene (150 μl) at 0° C. The mixture was let to come back to room temperature. After 1 h the reaction was complete (monitored by LCMS). Water was then added and the mixture extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic fractions were then stirred overnight with PS-trisamine resin to remove the excess of isocyanate. Filtration through a cotton wool plug and concentration in vacuo gave a residue that was purified by flash chromatography (Silica gel, gradient 2:3 acetone/hexane) to give 10a-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-methyl-5-oxo-N-(2-phenylethyl)-2,3,10,10a-tetrahydro-1H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[1,5-d]pyrazine-1-carboxamide (41) as a white solid (58 mg, yield 99%).
