Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenylamino)-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (235 mg, 0.65 mmol), copper (I) iodide (6 mg, 0.03 mmol), sodium iodide (195 mg, 1.3 mmol) and trans-N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-cyclohexane diamine (0.01 mL, 0.06 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (1.0 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 26 hours under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with methanol and loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge (10 g). The cartridge was then washed with methanol and the desired product was subsequently eluted using 2M NH3 in MeOH. The eluent was collected and concentrated to give a residue. The residue was subjected to flash chromatography (Si-PPC, gradient 0% to 20%, ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) to afford the title compound as a pale yellow solid (182 mg, 67%). LCMS (method B): RT=3.45 min, [M+H]+=412.
