Potassium Carbonate → 6-(4-oxo-2-phenoxymethyl-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-5-yl)-3',6'-dihydro-2'H-[2,4']bipyridinyl-1'-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Reaction Steps

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (7 mg, 0.006 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 5-(6-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-2-phenoxymethyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4-one (50 mg, 0.125 mmol), (N-tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-boronic acid pinacol ester (97 mg, 0.31 mmol) and potassium carbonate in a mixture of 1,4-dioxane (0.5 mL) and DMF (0.5 mL) in a sealed tube and under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred at 150° C. for 15 minutes under microwave irradiation. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvents evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica; AcOEt in DCM 0/100 to 100/0). The desired fractions were collected and the solvents evaporated in vacuo to yield 6-(4-oxo-2-phenoxymethyl-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-5-yl)-3′,6′-dihydro-2′H-[2,4′]bipyridinyl-1′-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (51 mg, 81%) as a pale yellow solid.
