Sodium borohydride → 2-[4-[5-[(1,5-Dimethylpyrazol-3-yl)amino]-1-methyl-6-oxo-3-pyridyl]-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-pyridyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-b]indolizin-1-one

Reaction Steps

A 25-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was charged with 246a (38 mg, 0.074 mmol, 1.0 eq.), NaBH4 (29 mg, 0.37 mmol, 5.0 eq.), and methanol (5 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min. It was then filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by reverse-phase prep-HPLC to afford the title compound (18 mg, 48%) as a white solid. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 512.3. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.58 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 7.98 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (s, 1H), 7.17 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 6.58-6.57 (m, 2H), 5.74 (s, 1H), 5.41-5.39 (m, 1H), 4.42-4.32 (m, 2H), 4.08 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 2.98 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 2.13-2.09 (m, 2H), 1.97-1.92 (m, 2H).
