[0343] To a solution of PPh3 (1.57 g, 5.99 mmol) in Et2O (30 mL) was added BrCH2CN (0.42 mL, 6.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at reflux for 17 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the residue was suction filtered from a small portion of ice-cold Et2O, and washed with a small amount of cold Et2O, giving the phosphonium salt as a white powder (1.05 g, 2.74 mmol, 46%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 6.39 (d, 2H, J=15.3 Hz), 7.69-7.76 (m, 6H), 7.82-7.87 (m, 3H), 7.96-8.03 (m, 6H). [0344] Preparation of 3-(2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-acrylonitrile: [0345] To a suspension of the phosphonium salt (900 mg, 2.35 mmol) in THF (10 mL) under nitrogen was added NaH (60% in mineral oil, 99 mg, 2.5 mmol) in one portion. The suspension stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, then pyrazole-3-carboxaldehyde (211 mg, 2.20 mmol) was added as a solid in one portion. The reaction was heated to reflux for 30 minutes, then cooled to room temperature and saturated aqueous NH4Cl (10 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (25 mL×3) and the combined organic solution was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica (EtOAc/hexane, 1:1) gave the alkene (white solid) as an approximately 1.5:1 mixture of the E:Z isomers (232 mg, 1.95 mmol, 89%). [0346] Data for E-isomer: 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 5.92 (d, 1H, J=16.5 Hz), 6.54 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 7.43 (d, 1H, J=16.8 Hz), 7.60 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz). [0347] Data for Z-isomer: 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 5.46 (d, 1H, J=12.0 Hz), 6.98 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 7.24 (d, 1H, J=12.3 Hz), 7.66 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz). [0348] Preparation of 3-(2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-propylamine: [0349] The alpha,beta-unsaturated nitrile (mixture of isomers, 250 mg, 2.10 mmol) was hydrogenated (45 psi) over Raney-nickel in MeOH saturated with NH3 (15 mL) for 15.5 hours. The mixture was suction filtered through Celite and washed with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure giving a brown oil. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 5.6:1:0.07) gave the saturated primary amine as a yellow oil (197 mg, 1.57 mmol, 75%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 1.82 (quint, 2H, J=7.1 Hz), 2.76 (apparent q, 4H, J=6.8 Hz), 4.46 (br. s, 3H), 6.07 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 7.47 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz). [0350] Preparation of [3-(2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-propyl]-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-quinolin-8-yl)-amine: [0351] A solution of the primary amine (190 mg, 1.52 mmol) and 8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (270 mg, 1.83 mmol) in MeOH (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. NaBH4 (75 mg, 2.0 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for an additional 15 minutes, then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up into CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (5 mL) and brine (5 mL). The organic solution was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 19:1:0.1, then MeOH) gave the secondary amine as a yellow oil (100 mg, 0.39 mmol, 26%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 1.67-1.87 (m, 12H), 1.90-2.03 (m, 3H), 2.11-2.23 (m, 1H), 2.67-2.89 (m, 6H), 3.84 (dd, 1H, J=7.7, 5.3 Hz), 6.03 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz), 7.09 (dd, 1H, J=7.7, 4.7 Hz), 7.39 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.41 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz), 8.42 (d, 1H, J=3.9 Hz). [0352] Preparation of 2-[[3-(2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-propyl]-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-quinolin-8-yl)-amino]-methyl}-benzimidazole-1-carboxylic Acid Tert-Butyl Ester: [0353] A solution of the amine (100 mg, 0.39 mmol),tert-butyl 2-chloromethyl-benzimidazole-1-carboxylate (107 mg, 0.40 mmol), DIPEA (0.10 mL, 0.57 mmol) and KI (approx. 10 mg) in CH3CN (2.5 mL) was heated to 60 C. under nitrogen for 18.5 hours. Once cooled to room temperature, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (15 mL×3). The combined organic solution was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Three attempts at purification by flash column chromatography on silica, the first eluted with CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 19:1:0.1, the second eluted with CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 49:1:0.25, gradually increased to 19:1:0.1, and the third eluted with CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 49:1:0.25, gave the tertiary amine as a white foam (70.6 mg, 0.15 mmol, 37%1). 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 1.64 (s, 9H), 1.64-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.90-2.12 (m, 3H), 2.19-2.33 (m, 1H), 2.41-2.51 (m, 1H), 2.60-2.86 (m, 4H), 3.06-3.15 (m, 1H), 3.23-3.37 (m, 1H), 4.04 (dd, 1H, J=10.4, 6.8 Hz), 4.19 (d, 1H, J=15.0 Hz), 4.53 (d, 1H, J=15.0 Hz), 6.00 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 6.72 (dd, 1H, J=7.5, 4.8 Hz), 6.89 (d, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.14-7.29 (m, 2H), 7.45 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 7.63 (dd, 1H, J=7.9, 1.5 Hz), 7.73 (dd, 1H, J=7.9, 1.5 Hz), 8.35 (d, 1H, J=3.6 Hz).
