Reaction Steps

In a pressure reaction tube was added 5-chloropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (4.2 g, 27 mmol), (R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine (Preparation A; 5.3 g, 29 mmol), anhydrous n-butanol (5 ml, 55 mmol), and DIEA (9.5 ml, 55 mmol). The yellowish suspension was sealed and heated in an oil bath (160° C.) overnight. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with EtOAc (250 mL), and filtered, rinsing the solid with EtOAc. The filtrate (330 mL) was washed with water (2×150 mL), brine (100 mL), concentrated, and purified by silica chromatography, eluting with 2:1 EtOAc/hexanes to give the product as a bright yellowish solid (5.6 g, 68% yield).
