Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-methylpyrrolidin-3-ol (89 mg, 0.875 mmol) was treated at room temperature with KHMDS (1 M in THF, 0.788 ml, 0.788 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min, then added to a solution of 6-amino-4-fluoronicotinonitrile (intermediate 21, 60 mg, 0.438 mmol) in DMA (1 ml). The mixture was then heated at 100° C. for 40 min, cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc and water. The layers were separated and aq. layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified twice by normal phase chromatography (4 g silica gel cartridge, DCM/(DCM/(1 M NH3 in MeOH) 9/1) 100:0 to 0:100) to give the title compound as a light brown wax. (UPLC-MS 3) tR 0.27 min; ESI-MS 219.1 [M+H]+.
