Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-methoxypropan-2-ol (329 mg, 3.65 mmol) was treated at room temperature with KHMDS (1M in THF, 1.82 ml, 1.82 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min. Then, the mixture was added to a solution of 6-amino-4-fluoronicotinonitrile (intermediate 21, 50 mg, 0.365 mmol) in NMP (0.5 ml). The solution was then heated at 50° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and diluted in EtOAc. The layers were separated and the aq. layer was extracted 3× with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by normal phase chromatography (4 g silica gel cartridge, heptanes/EtOAc 100:0 to 0:100). The product containing fractions were concentrated; the obtained oil was dissolved in water and lyophilized to give the title compound as a white solid. (UPLC-MS 3) tR 0.57 min; ESI-MS 208.1 [M+H]+.
