Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[2-(4-Isopropylsulfonylphenyl)-5-(p-tolylsulfonyl)pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-7-yl]ethynyl-trimethyl-silane (248 mg, 0.4495 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was treated with 1M tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate (674.3 μL, 0.6743 mmol) and the reaction mixture allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 16 hours. A further portion of 1M tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate (449.5 μL, 0.4495 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture warmed to 40° C. for 6 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and added dropwise to a mixture of EtOAc/ice water and the layers separated. The organic layer was washed with 2M NaOH (×2), brine (×1), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column silica gel chromatography eluting with 15-20% EtOAc/DCM to give the sub-title compound as colourless crystals (89 mg, 61% Yield). 1H NMR (400.0 MHz, DMSO) δ 1.20 (d, 6H), 3.40-3.50 (m, 1H), 4.20 (s, 1H), 8.00 (d, 2H), 8.33 (s, 1H), 8.44 (d, 2H), 9.06 (s, 1H) and 12.70 (s, 1H) ppm; MS (ES+) 326.0.
