Reaction Steps

(S)-6-(5-Cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)-5-fluoro-2-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylamino)nicotinonitrile (Example 1, 0.4 g, 1.1 mmol) was dissolved in the mixture pyridine-acetic acid-water (1:1:1, 18 ml total volume) at room temperature, to which was added Raney nickel (0.09 g, 1.1 mmol). The reaction was purged with nitrogen, evacuated, and then placed under hydrogen filled balloon for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was flushed with nitrogen, and filtered to remove the catalyst, which was washed with MeOH (30 ml). The filtrate was then extracted with DCM (5×50 ml), washed with aq. NaHCO3, and purified by reverse phase column chromatography (5-30% ACN) to give the title compound (0.18 g, 45%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 9.40 (s, 1H), 7.45 (d, J=10.4 Hz, 1H), 7.34-7.31 (m, 2H), 7.05-7.01 (m, 2H), 6.11 (s, 1H), 5.26 (s, 1H), 1.92-1.86 (m, 1H), 1.55 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 1.00-0.98 (m, 2H), 0.71-0.64 (m, 2H). MS: Calcd.: 383. Found: [M+H]+ 384.
