1-(azetidin-3-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 2-(2-ethylbenzoimidazol-1-yl)-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (165 mg, 0.42 mmol), 1-azetidin-3-ylpyrrolidin-2-one (65 mg, 0.46 mmol) and 4 Å powdered molecular sieves in DCE (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h before the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (180 mg, 0.84 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 65 h then filtered through celite, washing with DCM. The organic phase was washed with brine and concentrated in vacuo. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, MeOH:EtOAc, 0-15%) affording 588 as an orange foam (138 mg, 64%). LCMS (method I): RT 2.42 min [M+H]+ 516.2 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 8.00 (m, 1 H), 7.76 (m, 1 H), 7.27 (m, 2 H), 4.83 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 1 H), 4.35 (m, 4 H), 3.89-3.82 (m, 9 H), 3.67-3.54 (m, 4 H), 3.36 (m, 4 H), 2.42 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 2 H), 2.07 (m, 2 H) and 1.45 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3 H) then filtered through celite washing with DCM The organic phase was washed with brine concentrated in vacuo The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) concentrated in vacuo The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, MeOH:EtOAc, 0-15%)

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 3-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (320 mg, 1.33 mmol) and TFA (1.5 mL) in DCM (3 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge, washed with MeOH/DCM and eluted with 2M NH3/MeOH affording 1-Azetidin-3-ylpyrrolidin-2-one as a white solid (174 mg, 93%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ 5.05 (m, 1 H), 3.85-3.76 (m, 4 H), 3.61 (m, 2 H), 2.41 (m, 2 H) and 2.07 (m, 2 H) washed with MeOH/DCM eluted with 2M NH3/MeOH
