Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyrazin-6(7H)-one (981 mg, 3.0 mmol) in 10 mL of DME and 1 mL of DMF at RT was treated with lithium hydride (119 mg, 15 mmol) in small portions. Iodomethane (0.62 mL, 9.9 mmol) was added 30 min later. The mixture was stirred at RT for 18 h, and poured into an ice cold sat. NH4Cl solution, then extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined EtOAc layes were washed with brine, dried and concentrated. Purification of the crude material on a silical gel column (25-85% EtOAc in Hexanes) provided: (1) 5-bromo-1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-6-methoxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine (65 mg, 6.4% yield) as an off white crystalline solid. MS (ES+): 341.0/343.0 (M+H)+; and (2) 5-bromo-1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-7-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyrazin-6(7H)-one (616 mg, 60% yield) as an off white amorphous solid. MS (ES+): 341.0/343.0 (M+H)+.
