Reaction Steps

Tetrahydrofuran (2.0 mL) and cyclohexene (0.42 mL, 4.15 mmol) were cooled in an ice water bath under nitrogen, and borane-dimethyl sulfide complex (0.19 mL, 2.0 mmol) was added via syringe. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature while being stirred under nitrogen over 90 minutes, resulting in a suspension. In a separate flask, N-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-3-(2-methyl-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-9H-purin-6-yl)-5-vinylpyridin-2-amine (185.4 mg, 0.418 mmol) was dissolved in THF (6.0 mL), and to this solution was added 1.6 mL of the suspension generated in the first flask. The addition occurred via syringe dropwise, resulting in gas evolution. The reaction was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 40 minutes and then cooled in an ice/water bath and quenched with MeOH (4.0 mL), 2 N aqueous NaOH (4.8 mL), and 30% aqueous H2O2 (6.5 mL), all added via syringe. The reaction was stirred while being allowed to warm to room temperature. After 75 minutes, more 2 N aqueous NaOH (1.2 mL) and 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (3.5 mL) were added, and stirring was continued. Then, 3 hours after that, 5 N aqueous NaOH (1.60 mL) and 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (8.0 mL) were added, and stirring was continued for another hour. Then, the reaction was diluted with water (20 mL), DCM (20 mL), and MeOH (about 1 mL), and allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. Then, the layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with 10:1 DCM/MeOH. The organic extracts were combined, concentrated, and taken on to step 2.
