Dichloromethane → 1-{4-[4-(1,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylmethyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2']bipyrazinyl-3'-yl]-benzyl}-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione hydrochloride

Reaction Steps

Dissolve succinimide (99 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dry DCM (5 mL) under nitrogen. Add triphenylphosphine (408 mg, 1.5 mmol) and stir for 20 min. at room temperature. Add {4-[4-(1,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylmethyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-3′-yl]-phenyl}-methanol (378 mg, 1.0 mmol) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (0.19 mL, 1.1 mmol) and stir for 20 hr. Add water (10 mL), extract with DCM (2×5 mL). Pass the combined DCM extracts through an IST Phase Separator Frit®, concentrate and purify by SCX-2® chromatography washing with methanol then eluting with 2 M ammonia in methanol. Further purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 0:100 to 5:95 methanol:DCM), to give the free base as a light yellow oil. Purify again by low pH reverse phase HPLC, and form the free base by passing through an SCX-2® ion exchange cartridge washing with methanol then eluting with 3.5 M ammonia in methanol. Dissolve the oil in acetonitrile and convert to the hydrochloride salt by adding 2 M aq HCl solution. Add water and lyophilize to give the title compound as a yellow powder (127 mg, 26%). MS (ES): m/z=460 [M+H]+.
