N-((5-Oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6-yl)methyl)cyclobutanecarboxamide → 7-cyclobutyl-3H-imidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-4-one

Reaction Steps

A solution of cyclobutanecarboxylic acid (5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazin-6-ylmethyl)-amide (1.33 g, 6.39 mmol) in phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) (10 mL) was heated to 55° C. The reaction was heated for 2 h then concentrated in vacuo and the crude oil was cooled to 0° C. in an ice-bath and quenched with 2 M NH3 in ispropanol (i-PrOH) until slightly basic. This crude reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and was partitioned between CH2Cl2 and H2O and separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×) and the combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by chromatography on silica gel [eluting with 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2], resulting in the title compound as an off-white solid; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 1.86-1.96 (m, 1H), 2.00-2.13 (m, 1H); 2.26-2.46 (m, 4H); 3.87-4.00 (m, 1H); 7.71 (s, 1H); 7.87 (d, J=3.6 Hz, 1H); 11.7 (brs, 1H); MS (ES+): m/z 191.27 (100) [MH+], HPLC: tR=2.06 min (MicromassZQ, polar—5 min).
