Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(4-methyl-1-(1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)azepan-4-yl)acetamide (330 mg, 1.11 mmol) in a mixture of EtOH (25 mL) and water (2.5 mL) was added ammonium chloride (300 mg, 5.55 mmol) and iron powder (250 mg, 4.44 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 hr before being cooled, filtered through Celite® and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between water (20 mL) and DCM (40 mL) and the organic layer was separated, washed with brine (20 mL), passed through a phase separation cartridge and concentrated under reduced pressure to give N-(1-(4-amino-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-4-methylazepan-4-yl)acetamide as a brown solid which was used without further purification. Following the procedure for Example 149 using this intermediate and 5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid gave 378 as an off-white foam (54 mg, 19% over three steps). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.52 (s, 1H), 7.86 (s, 1H), 7.39-7.29 (m, 1H), 7.07-6.99 (m, 2H), 6.15 (s, 2H), 5.38 (s, 1H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.30-3.18 (m, 4H), 3.12 (ddd, J=13.6, 6.6, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 2.30-2.19 (m, 2H), 2.00-1.72 (m, 6H), 1.45 (s, 3H).
