Triphenylphosphine → 5-(5-(3-Fluoro-4-(2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethoxy)phenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-7-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)picolinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(5-(3-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-7-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)picolinonitrile (Compound 1, 100 mg, 0.23 mmol), 2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethanol (43.5 mg, 0.34 mmol), triphenylphosphine (89 mg, 0.34 mmol), and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (0.07 mL, 0.34 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The reaction mixture was absorbed on silica gel and purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc/hexanes to afford impure desired product that was repurified by reverse phase HPLC (acetonitrile/water:TFA). The fractions containing the desired compound were combined, acetonitrile was removed in vacuo, and the remaining aqueous layer was treated with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×), the organics were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness to afford 29 mg of 5-(5-(3-fluoro-4-(2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yflethoxy)phenyl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]octan-7-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl) picolinonitrile as a beige solid. LCMS [M+1]+ 545.5.
