Reaction Steps

Under an atmosphere of argon protective gas, (7R)-2-amino-7-(4-cyanophenyl)-5-methyl-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile hydrochloride (30 mg, 66 μmol) was dissolved in abs. pyridine (1.5 ml). At room temperature, isobutyryl chloride (21 mg, 107 μmol, 3 eq.) was added. After 12 h of stirring, analysis of the reaction by HPLC showed substantial conversion. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and directly purified by preparative HPLC (Gromsil C18 column, 30×250 mm; mobile phase: acetonitrile-water-0.1% TFA). After lyophilization, the product was obtained as a solid (24.5 mg, 76% of theory).
