Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[(2S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-2-(chloromethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (0.10 g, 0.31 mmol) dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) was added tert-butyl (methylsulfonyl)carbamate (0.092 g, 0.47 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.087 g, 0.63 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight, then diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give crude tert-butyl ({1-[(2S)-bicyclo[2.2. l]hept-2-yl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-2-yl}methyl)(methylsulfonyl)carbamate. LCMS calculated for C22H29N4O4S2 (M+H)+: m/z=477.2. Found: 477.1. The crude intermediate was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL, 6 mmol) in methylene chloride (0.5 mL) at room temperature for 30 min, then the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was re-dissolved in MeOH and purified on prep-LCMS (XBridge C18 column, eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile/water containing 0.1% ammonium hydroxide, at flow rate of 30 mL/min) to give the desired product (30 mg, 25%). LCMS calculated for C17H21N4O2S2 (M+H)+: m/z=377.1. Found: 377.0.
