Reaction Steps

1-Phenylpiperidin-4-ylamine (75 mg, 0.43 mmol) (from Example 123) and 4-(5-formylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzonitrile (99 mg, 0.47 mmol) were dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (2 mL) and acetic acid (49 μL, 0.86 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 2 hrs at room temperature, then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (117 mg, 0.55 mmol) was added, then the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs. Sat. NaHCO3(aq) (30 mL) was added, and the organic layer was extracted. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (2×5 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with dichloromethane—5% methanol—0.5% NH4OH to give the product as a free base. This was lyophilized from HCl (aq)—acetonitrile to give the title compound as a white solid.
