Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (142 mg, 3.55 mmol) was added to 4-amino-N,N-dicyclopropyl-6-ethyl-1-methyl-1,6-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-7-carboxamide (example 1J, 400 mg, 1.182 mmol) in DMF (7 mL) at room temperature and the mixture stirred for 30 min, 1,1-dimethoxy-4,4-bis(methylthio)but-3-en-2-one (394 mg, 1.773 mmol) was added and stirring continued overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water, 10% lithium chloride and water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using an automated ISCO system (80 g column, eluting with 2-5% methanol/dichloromethane). (Z)-N,N-Dicyclopropyl-4-(4,4-dimethoxy-1-(methylthio)-3-oxobut-1-enylamino)-6-ethyl-1-methyl-1,6-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-7-carboxamide (484 mg, 0.944 mmol, 80% yield) was obtained as a yellow solid.
