Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanesulfonyl chloride (0.277 mL, 3.57 mmol) was added to a solution of (S)-methyl 1-(4-(3-(3-amino-5-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)propan-2-ylcarbamate (550 mg, 1.2 mmol) in DCM (30 mL) and pyridine (10 mL), and the mixture was stirred at rt for 16 h. Aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (60:1 to 40:1 DCM/methanol) to provide the title compound. An alternative synthesis is described in example 6, infra.
