Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[5-(2-ethoxypyridin-4-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-ylamino]-N-pyridin-3-ylmethyl benzamide (82 mg, 0.18 mmol) and pyridinium hydrochloride (101 mg, 0.88 mmol) in water (0.5 mL) is heated at 150° C. for 20 minutes in a sealed tube. After this time the solvent is removed in vacuo. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with DCM followed by 90:10 DCM:NH3 (7M in MeOH), and the fractions containing the desired product are combined and evaporated. The title compound is isolated as a solid. HPLC (254 nm): Rt 1.83 min (99.1%); m/z (APCI) 438 (M+H)+.
