Chloroacetaldehyde → 7-(1-Methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-(1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine

Reaction Steps

6-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2-(1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine (2.0 g, 5.4 mmol) was suspended in a mixture of 40 mL of pH 7 phosphate buffer and 16 mL of EtOH. To the milky white mixture was added NaOAc (0.79 g, 9.7 mmol) followed by 2-chloroacetaldehyde (1.0 mL, 8.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was then heated to 95° C. After 5 hours, the reaction was incomplete and another portion of 2-chloroacetaldehyde (0.10 mL, 0.81 mmol) was added and stirred for another 1 hour. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted in EtOAc and saturated NaHCO3. After separation, the organic layer was washed with brine, dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted in diethyl ether, sonicated, and filtered to afford 0.88 g of 7-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-(1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)-methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine as an off-white solid. Additional product was obtained by concentration of the filtrate and purification by silica chromatography using 0-10% MeOH/EtOAc. This afforded another 0.80 g of the intermediate. MS (apci) m/z=396.2 (M+H).
