Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask charged with 7-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine (0.025 g, 0.090 mmol) and acrylonitrile (0.032 mL, 0.49 mmol) was added 1 mL of acetonitrile and DBU (0.027 mL, 0.18 mmol) and the flask was sealed under nitrogen and allowed to proceed at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was diluted with 3 mL of DCM, loaded directly onto a silica gel column and eluted with 1% MeOH in EtOAc containing 1% NH4OH to afford a mixture of regioisomers from alkylation at N-1 and N-2. The mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 1.0-5.0% MeOH in DCM with 0.5% NH4OH to afford the title compound (5.0 mg, 0.0150 mmol, 17% yield). MS (apci) m/z=333.1 (M+H). The structure and regioisomer were confirmed by observed nOe signals.
