Reaction Steps

Intermediate 4-(2-(Methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (10.0 g, 40 mmol) was dissolved in THF (200 mL), followed by addition of 2-iodopropane (6.3 mL, 63 mmol) and sodium methoxide (25% weight solution in methanol, 14.3 ml, 63 mmol). The mixture was heated at 50° C. with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 d, then was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with aqueous potassium carbonate solution and brine, then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide a brown residue. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate eluant) to provide 1-isopropyl-4-(2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-3-amine as a solid; 1H NMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) δ 8.23 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 7.60 (s, 1H), 6.83 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 5.23 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 2H), 4.21-4.25 (m, 1H), 2.50 (s, 3H), 1.37 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 6H); MS m/z: 250.1 (M+1).
