Formaldehyde → 2-(3-(2-(2-((4-(1-Methylpiperidin-4-yl)phenyl)amino)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)ethyl)pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide

2-(3-(2-(2-((4-(Piperidin-4-yl)phenyl)amino)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)ethyl)pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide (26) (42 mg, 0.087 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (4 mL) and 37% formaldehyde (26 μL, 0.35 mmol) was added. After five minutes sodium tri(acetoxy)borohydride (92 mg, 0.44 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for three hours. The solution was concentrated, and the residue suspended in 10% sodium hydroxide (1 mL). After five minutes brine (2 mL) was added, and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (5×3 mL). The combined ethyl acetate phases were washed with brine, dried (sodium sulphate) and evaporated to give the title compound (27) (34 mg, 77% yield) as an off-white solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, dr DMSO) δ 10.07 (s, 1H), 8.64 (s, 1H), 8.42 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 8.38 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.55 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 2H), 7.15 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.08 (s, 1H), 4.09 (d, J=4.7 Hz, 1H), 3.77 (s, 2H), 3.17 (d, J=4.3 Hz, 2H), 3.05-2.92 (m, 2H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.20 (s, 2H), 1.82-1.61 (m, 4H). LCMS Method C: rt 4.53 min; m/z 500.1 [M+H]+; m/z 498.2 [M−H]−.
