Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution (0° C.) of tert-butyl cis-4-hydroxycyclohexanecarbamate (0.682 g, 3.17 mmol, Biofine International), 1-cyclopropyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2(3H)-one (0.5578 g, 3.17 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (1.100 ml, 4.75 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company) in THF (17.49 ml) was added diethyl azodicarboxylate, 40 wt. % solution in toluene (1.870 ml, 4.75 mmol, Chem Impex International) dropwise. After 10 mins, the round bottomed flask was removed from the ice bath and allowed to warm to room temperature to stir. Reaction was allowed to stir for 5 h and was then concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was adsorbed onto a plug of silica gel and chromatographed through a Biotage SNAP HP-silica gel column (50 g), eluting with a gradient of 10% to 100% EtOAc in hexane, to provide the title compound (0.7301 g, 1.955 mmol, 61.7% yield). LCMS showed product peak at 2.13 min (m+1=374.0). NMR showed some biproduct from DEAD reagent. Product was carried on without further purification.
