Reaction Steps

5-[(6-Bromopyridin-3-yl)methyl]-2-(2-methylphenyl)-2,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]cinnolin-3-one [(Example 22), 60 mg, 0.13 mmol] was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 mL) and treated with morpholine (35 mg, 0.40 mmol, 3 equiv) and potassium carbonate (19 mg, 0.13 mmol, 1 equiv). The vessel was sealed and placed into an oil bath preheated at 100° C. for 9 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, poured into water (5 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed three times with water and once with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel gradient chromatography (100:0 to 94:6; chloroform:methanol), providing the titled compound: 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.29 (1H, br s), 7.69-7.59 (3H, m), 7.57-7.51 (2H, m), 7.44 (1H, m), 7.38-7.29 (3H, m), 6.59 (1H, d, J=9.1 Hz), 5.73 (2H, s), 3.79 (4H, m), 3.50 (4H, m), 2.35 (3H, s) ppm; high resolution mass spectrometry (ES+) m/z 453.2038 [(M+H)+; calculated for C26H25N6O2: 453.2034].
