Reaction Steps

32% aqueous ammonia solution (11.9 mL, 201.1 mmol) was added to a stirred mixture of (R)-4-(3-bromo-phenyl)-4-methyl-4,5-dihydro-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine-6-thione (1.8 g, 5.59 mmol) in 7 N solution of ammonia in methanol (11.97 mL, 83.79 mmol) in a sealed tube. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 90 minutes. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was diluted with water and Na2CO3 (aq. sat. solution) and extracted with DCM. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvents evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel; 7 M solution of ammonia in methanol in DCM 0/100 to 2/98 to 3/97 to 10/90). The desired fractions were collected and concentrated in vacuo to yield (R)-4-(3-bromo-phenyl)-4-methyl-4,7-dihydro-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-6-ylamine (1.4 g, 82% yield) as a yellow solid.
