6-Methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-A]pyrimidine-2-carbaldehyde → 1-(4-{2-[2-Cyclopentyl-5-(6-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-ylmethyl)-4,6-dioxo-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl]-ethyl}-2-fluoro-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-{4-[2-(2-cyclopentyl-4,6-dioxo-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-ethyl]-2-fluoro-phenyl}-cyclopropanecarbonitrile (568 mg, 1.54 mmol) in anhydrous MeOH (6.0 mL) was treated with 6-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carbaldehyde (324 mg, 2.0 mmol), followed by borane-dimethylamine complex (118 mg, 2.0 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred for 1 hour before it was cooled to −10° C. for 2 hours. The precipitate was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated to an oil. The oil was purified by flash chromatography (50 g SiO2, 1:3->1:0 (93.5% ethyl acetate, 6% methanol, 0.5% acetic acid): (81.5% hexanes, 12% ethyl acetate, 6% methanol, 0.5% acetic acid)) to give the desired product as an oil. It was further purified by crystallization from ethyl acetate/hexanes to give a white powder (146 mg, 18%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.41–1.64 (m, 8 H), 1.84–1.88 (m, 2 H), 2.22–2.28 (m, 2 H), 2.42 (s, 3 H), 2.49–2.59 (m, 4 H), 2.65–2.74 (m, 3 H), 3.97–4.05 (m, 2 H), 6.72–6.82 (m, 2 H), 7.05–7.10 (m, 1 H), 8.55 (s, 1 H), 8.67 (s, 1 H).
