Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-(1,1-dimethoxyethyl)-3-[2-(pyridin-4yl)pyrimidin-4-yl]imidazo[1,2-α]pyrimidine (Example 60) (3 g, 8.3 mmol) in 2.5N HCl (60 ml) was heated at 50° C. for 4 h. To the cooled solution was added 5% MeOH/DCM (500 ml) then neutralized by portionwise addition of a saturated solution of NaHCO3. Organic layer was separated and the aqueous re-extracted twice with 5% MeOH/DCM. Combined organics washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude residue. The crude was purified using 100 g silica bond elute cartridge, eluting with 1-2.5% MeOH/DCM, to afford 1-[3-(2-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-α]pyrimidin-7-yl]ethanone as a yellow solid (1.6 g, 61%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6DMSO) δ 2.74 (3H, s), 7.92 (1H, d, J 7.2), 8.23 (1H, d, J 5.5), 8.37 (2H, dd, J 1.6, 4.3), 8.83 (2H, dd, J 1.6, 4.3), 9.04 (1H, d, J 5.5), 9.15 (1H, s), 10.39 (1H, d, J 7.4); m/z (ES+) 317 (M+H+).
