Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-((5-amino-2-(5-cyanopyrazin-2-ylamino)pyridin-4-ylamino)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (40 mg, 0.094 mmol) (Synthesis 101-C) was dissolved in ethanol (2 mL) and treated with sodium ethoxide (34 mg, 0.509 mmol) and 1,4-dibromobutane (44 mg, 0.208 mmol) at between 70 and 80° C. for 96 h. The reaction was quenched with water and the aqueous phase extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were evaporated and the residue was treated with a 20% solution of TFA in dichloromethane for 20 min. The solution was evaporated and the residue was purified by HPLC to give 5-(4-(piperidin-3-ylmethylamino)-5-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridin-2-ylamino)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile (10.3 mg, 29%).
