Lithium Hexamethyldisilazide → 5-(4-Bromo-2-fluorophenylamino)-N-(2-(vinyloxy)ethoxy)-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-6-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenylamino)-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (150 mg, 0.41 mmol) and O-(2-vinyloxy-ethyl)hydroxylamine (127 mg, 1.23 mmol, 3.0 eq) in anhydrous THF (7.5 mL) at 0° C. was added lithium hexamethyldisilazide (1M in THF, 1.2 mL, 1.23 mmol, 3.0 eq.), and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 1 h the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was isolated and washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was subjected to flash chromatography (Si-PPC, gradient 0 to 5% methanol in dichoromethane) to give an oil. Crystallization from DCM—ether—hexane afforded the desired product as a pale orange solid (160.2 mg, 89.4%). LCMS (method C): RT=2.53 min, [M+H]+=437/439.
