Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-((1S)-2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-1-{[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}ethyl)-5-ethyl-4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide (486 mg, 0.86 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.144 ml) and methanol (2.14 ml) at 25° C. was added hydrazine (0.269 ml, 8.58 mmol) dropwise. After 12 h, the solution was concentrated, dry loaded and purified via column chromatography (silica, 5% MeOH in DCM (1% NH4OH)). The free base was then converted to the HCl salt by adding excess 4M HCl in dioxane (500 ul) to the residue in MeOH (2 ml) affording N-((1S)-2-amino-1-{[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}ethyl)-5-ethyl-4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide (250 mg, 0.491 mmol, 57.2% yield)-2 HCl as a white solid: LCMS (ES) m/z=437 (M+H)+, 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.84 (d, J=8.84 Hz, 1H) 8.08 (br. s., 3H) 7.93 (s, 1H) 7.69 (d, J=7.83 Hz, 1H) 7.51-7.61 (m, 3H) 7.39-7.46 (m, 1H) 6.34 (d, J=2.02 Hz, 1H) 4.48 (br. s., 1H) 3.77 (s, 3H) 2.99-3.11 (m, 4H) 2.74 (q, J=7.49 Hz, 2H) 1.16 (t, J=7.45 Hz, 3H).
