Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-[4-carbamoyl-3-(phenylamino)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-3-(cyanomethyl)azetidinium trifluoroacetate (Intermediate #38-2) (50 mg, 0.17 mmol) in DCE (2.0 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (79 mg, 0.37 mmol), followed by formaldehyde (0.050 mL, 0.67 mmol, 37 wt % in water). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 1 hour before saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution was added and the resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by MPLC on silica gel (using a gradient elution of 0-100%, EtOAc/hexanes) to afford the title compound, Example #20.
