Sodium Cyanide → 2-(6-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-indazol-3-yl)-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid [(R)-1-(4-cyanomethyl-oxazol-2-yl)-ethyl]-amide

Reaction Steps

In a round-bottomed flask, methanesulfonic acid 2-((R)-1-{[2-(6-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-indazol-3-yl)-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carbonyl]-amino}-ethyl)-oxazol-4-ylmethyl ester (146 mg, 0.18 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (0.5 ml). Sodium cyanide (27 mg, 0.55 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, quenched with water and extracted with diethyl ether (2×). The combined organic layers were washed twice with water and once with brine then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel with EtOAc/hexanes (gradient 0-60% EtOAc) to isolate 37 mg (36%) of 2-(6-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-indazol-3-yl)-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid [(R)-1-(4-cyanomethyl-oxazol-2-yl)-ethyl]-amide as a yellow solid.
