To a stirred solution of (3R)-3-cyclopentyl-3-(4-(7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propanoic acid ((R)-23, 20 mg, 0.044 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) at room temperature was added N,N-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI, 21 mg, 0.13 mmol, 3.0 equiv). The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature and TLC was used to follow the reaction for formation of acyl imidazole (consumption of acid to a higher Rf spot with 30% EtOAc/hexane). When TLC showed that the acyl imidazole transformation was complete, ammonia gas was then bubbled through the stirred solution for 30 min to afford the amide (followed by LCMS). The excess amount of ammonia gas was evaporated by bubbling nitrogen vigorously through the solution. The crude product, (3R)-3-cyclopentyl-3-(4-(7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propanamide ((R)-24), in DMF was used directly to the following reaction to convert amide ((R)-24) into the corresponding nitrile ((R)-20).
