Example 74
To a mixture of 1-[1-(3-azetidin-3-yl-5-chloro-4-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-3-(difluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine dihydrochloride (45 mg, 0.090 mmol), {[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}acetaldehyde (110 mg, 0.63 mmol) and triethylamine (63 μL, 0.45 mmol) in methylene chloride (0.9 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride resin (0.12 g, 0.27 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, then filtered. The filtrate was treated with 6.0 M hydrogen chloride in water (0.2 mL, 0.9 mmol), and purified on RP-HPLC (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 (2.5 mg, 5.6%). LCMS calculated for C20H23ClF3N6O2 (M+H)+: m/z=471.1; Found: 471.2. The racemic product was separated on a Phenomenex Lux Cellulose-4 column, eluting with 20% ethanol in hexanes, at flow rate of 18 mL/min, and column loading of −4 mg/injection to separate two enantiomers. First peak retention time 13.1 min; second peak retention time 16.3 min.
