1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → 3-(5-amino-4-benzoyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-N-cyclopropyl-4-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(5-amino-4-benzoyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-methyl-benzoic acid 5 (Example 3, 700 mg, 2.18 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 30 mL of DMF was added EDCI (855 mg 4.35 mmol, 2.0 eq), HOBt (589 mg, 4.35 mmol, 2.0 eq), and diisopropylethylamine (1.59 mL, 8.71 mmol, 4.0 eq) and the solution was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature when cyclopropylamine (302 μL, 4.35 mmol, 2.0 eq) was added and the reaction stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL) and washed with water (2×25 mL) and brine (25 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluted with 8/2 EtOAc/MeOH to provide the product as a brown oil. The product was further purified by trituration with 1/1/1 EtOAc/hexanes/CH2Cl2 and dried under vacuum to provide 3-(5-amino-4-benzoyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-N-cyclopropyl-4-methyl-benzamide 6 (387 mg, 50%) as a white powder: HPLC (4 minute gradient) tR 2.11 min; MS m/z 361 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (CD3OD, 300 MHz) δ 7.92 (d, J=7.6, 1 H), 7.81 (m, 4 H), 7.54 (m, 4 H), 2.85 (m, 1 H), 2.22 (s, 3 H), 0.80 (d, J=5.7, 2 H), 0.63 (s, 2 H) ppm; 13C NMR (CD3OD, 75 MHz) δ 191.2, 170.1, 153.8, 143.3, 142.0, 141.1, 136.9, 134.8, 132.9, 132.7, 130.1, 129.7, 129.2, 128.1, 104.8, 24.1, 17.7, 6.6 ppm.
