Reaction Steps

5-(3-Dibenzylamino-2,6-difluoro-phenyl)-4-pyridin-4-yl-2H-pyrazole-3-thiol (1.26 g, 2.6 mmol) was dissolved in dry DMF (33 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. Solid potassium carbonate (1.8 g, 13 mmol, 5 eq) was added followed by 1,2-dibromoethane (0.252 mL, 2.86 mmol, 1.1 eq) and the suspension was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. DMF was then removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. 537 mg of dibenzyl-[2,4-difluoro-3-(7-pyridin-4-yl-2,3-dihydro-pyrazolo[5,1-b]thiazol-6-yl)-phenyl]-amine were obtained as white solid (47% over 2 steps).
