Dimethylformamide → methyl 5-(1-(2-cyano-1-cyclopropylethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL flask, methyl 5-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine-7-carboxylate hydrochloride (0.300 g, 1.07 mmol) and 3-cyclopropylacrylonitrile (Preparation B; 0.300 g, 3.22 mmol) were suspended in DMF (5.36 mL, 1.07 mmol) and DBU (0.722 mL, 4.83 mmol) added in one portion. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted in EtOAc and washed with water and brine. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated down to a yellow oil. Purification of the crude material by silica chromatography using a gradient of 50-100% EtOAc afforded methyl 5-(1-(2-cyano-1-cyclopropylethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine-7-carboxylate (0.127 g, 0.378 mmol, 35.2% yield) as a yellow oil. MS (apci) m/z=337.2 (M+H).
