Reaction Steps

A mixture of (Z)-N,N-dicyclopropyl-6-ethyl-1-methyl-4-(1-(methylthio)-3-oxobut-1-enylamino)-1,6-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-7-carboxamide (example 72B, 70 mg, 0.155 mmol) and tent-butyl 1-methylhydrazinecarboxylate (0.046 mL, 0.309 mmol) in acetic acid (1 mL) wan stirred at 35° C. for 4 h (monitored by LC/MS until no starting material left). Formic acid (0.5 mL) was added and stirred at 60° C. for 6 h. Solvent was evaporated and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using an automated ISCO system (12 g column, eluting with 2-10% methanol/dichloromethane). The impure product was further purified by preparative HPLC to give N,N-dicyclopropyl-4-(1,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)-6-ethyl-1-methyl-1,6-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-7-carboxamide (45 mg, 63.9% yield) as an off-white solid.
