Reaction Steps

N,N-Dibenzyl-3-methyl-4-(3-tosyl-3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazin-8-yl)cyclopentan-amine (4.47 g, 7.58 mmol) was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (40 mL). NaOH (2 N aqueous, 4 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at about 90° C. for about 80 min. The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was treated with saturated aqueous NH4Cl (70 mL) and extracted with DCM (2×60 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (70 mL), dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concd under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0-8% MeOH in DCM to yield N,N-dibenzyl-3-(3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazin-8-yl)-4-methylcyclopentan-amine (1.84 g, 56%) as a yellow oil: LC/MS (Table 1, Method a) Rt=2.31 min; MS m/z 436 (M+H)+.
