Triethylamine → {4-[4-(1-Benzyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylmethyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2']bipyrazinyl-3'-yl]-phenyl}-methanol hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine [4-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyrazinyl-3′-yl)-phenyl]-methanol dihydrochloride (0.210 g, 0.612 mmol), 1-benzyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (0.131 g, 0.612 mmol) and triethylamine (0.171 mL, 1.22 mmol) in dichloroethane (5 mL). Add glacial acetic acid (50 μL) followed by sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.181 g, 0.856 mmol). Stir at room temperature for 3 days. Dilute with saturated aq. sodium bicarbonate then extract three times using DCM. Dry (sodium sulfate), filter, concentrate and purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 4.5:95.5 methanol (with 2 M ammonia):DCM), to give a yellow oil. Dissolve the oil in methanol and add ammonium chloride (1 equivalent) then sonicate the mixture for 10 min. Evaporate the solution to give the title compound as a yellow solid (0.241 g, 78%).
