4-(Methylthio)benzaldehyde → N-[3-[5-chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1-[2-([[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]methyl]amino)-ethyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-[5-chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide (130 mg, 0.29 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was added 4-(methylsulfanyl)benzaldehyde (66.3 mg, 0.44 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 2 hr, then NaBH3CN (27.5 mg, 0.44 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature overnight and quenched with water (1 mL). The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by Prep-HPLC with the following conditions (Prep-HPLC-005): Column, XBridge Prep C18 OBD Column, 5 um, 19*150 mm; mobile phase, water with 0.05% FA and MeCN (30.0% up to 37.0% in 10 min, up to 95.0% in 1 min, hold 95.0% in 1 min, down to 30.0% in 2 min); Detector, UV 254/220 nm. This resulted in 39.6 mg (23%) of the formic acid salt of N-[3-[5-chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1-[2-([[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]methyl]amino)-ethyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide as a light yellow solid. LCMS (Method 20) [M+H]+=584.2, RT=2.23 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: (ppm) 9.74 (s, 1H), 9.34 (dd, 1H, J=1.6, 7.2 Hz), 8.69-8.67 (m, 2H), 8.37 (s, 1H), 7.61 (dd, 1H, J=2.8, 8.8 Hz), 7.59 (d, 1H, J=2.8 Hz), 7.44 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 7.31-7.27 (m, 3H), 7.18 (d, 2H, J=8.0 Hz), 7.07 (t, 1H, J=73.6 Hz), 4.25 (t, 2H, J=5.2 Hz), 3.70 (s, 2H), 2.95-2.92 (m, 2H), 2.50 (s, 3H).
