Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere (S)-3-bromo-N-(3,3-dimethyl-1-(methylamino)-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-7-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-1-carboxamide (Compound 203) (0.050 g, 0.13 mmol) was dissolved in THF and trimethysilylchloride (0.045 g, 0.41 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred for 3 hours. Isopropylmagnesium chloride solution (2M in THF, 0.27 mL, 0.54 mmol) was added dropwise at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, then benzaldehyde (0.028 g, 0.26 mmol) was added at 0° C. and the resulting mixture was stirred cold for 40 minutes. The mixture was quenched at 0° C. with NH4Cl saturated solution, stirred for 10 min and concentrated. The reaction mixture was then extracted repeatedly with 20% i-PrOH/DCM and the combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by prep LC/MS using 5-95% gradient acetonitrile/water with 0.1% formic acid. The resulting material was filtered through Strata SCX SPE tube to give (0.010 g, 18%) of Compound 295 as a free base. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 1.05 (s, 9H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 2.75 (m, 5H), 3.69 (m, 1H), 3.88 (m, 2H), 4.09 (m, 1H), 4.32 (s, 1H), 7.53 (t, 2H), 5.97 (m 1H), 7.29 (m, 1H), 7.38 (m, 4H); LCMS (+ESI) m/z 414.2 [M+H]+.
