Sodium hydride → (2R,4S)-4-{(3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-[5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-amino}-2-ethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 3-methyl-oxetan-3-ylmethyl ester

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-methyl-3-oxetanemethanol (0.202 mmol; 20.6 mg) and sodium hydride (60% oil dispersion in mineral oil, 0.202 mmol; 8.1 mg) in THF (0.5 mL) is added a solution of (2R,4S)-4-{(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-[5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-amino}-2-ethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 4-nitro-phenyl ester (0.101 mmol; 67 mg) in THF (0.5 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, then quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The product is extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layer is washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane/EtOAc), followed by another silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol) to give (2R,4S)-4-{(3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-[5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-amino}-2-ethyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid 3-methyl-oxetan-3-ylmethyl ester (40.7 mg, 64%); ESI-MS m/z: 626 [M+1]+, Retention time 2.19 min (condition A).
