Hydrochloric Acid → 4-{4-[5-(4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-piperidin-1-yl}-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add hydrogen chloride (4.00 equiv; 81.41 mmoles; 20.35 mL) to a solution of 4-[4-(4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (8.7 g; 1.00 equiv; 20.35 mmoles) in dichloromethane (101.77 mL), at room temperature. Stir the solution at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove the solvent under reduced pressure, and dissolve the crude in isopropyl alcohol (101.77 mL). Add 4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (1.65 equiv; 33.58 mmoles; 5.19 g) and triethylamine (10 equiv; 203.54 mmoles; 28.37 mL). Stir the mixture at reflux for 1 hour. Remove the solvent under reduced pressure and triturate the crude in water overnight. Filter the solid and triturated in hot acetonitrile, filter and dry in vacuo. 4-{4-[5-(4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-piperidin-1-yl}-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (8.42 g; 18.86 mmoles; 92.66% yield) is obtained as a light yellow solid.
