Reaction Steps

8-Azetidin-3-yl-2-(2-isopropyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulene TFA salt 235 (0.32 g, 0.6 mmol) was suspended in water (2.5 mL) and treated with sodium cyanide (50 mg, 0.6 mmol). A solution of acetone (60 mg, 0.9 mmol) in water (0.25 mL) was added followed by THF (˜2 mL) to aid dissolution. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 18 hours then extracted with DCM (×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-{3-[2-(2-Isopropyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulen-8-yl]-azetidin-1-yl}-2-methyl-propionitrile (0.26 g, quant.) LCMS: RT=4.66 min, [M+H]+=435
