Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-cyano-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid [2-(4,4-dimethyl-cyclohex-1-enyl)-4-(1,1-dimethyl-2-oxo-ethyl)-phenyl]-amide (as prepared in the previous step, 60.0 mg, 0.154 mmol) and 2-methylsulfanyl-ethylamine (84 mg, 0.92 mmol) in 2 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (49.0 mg, 0.231 mmol). After stirring at RT for 3 h, the mixture was treated with EtOAc (40 mL) and washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3 (10 mL), H2O (10 mL) and brine (10 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (1-3% MeOH/DCM) to afford the title compound (45.0 mg, 63%) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (1:1 CD3OD/CDCl3; 400 MHz): δ 8.22 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz), 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.27 (dd, 1H, J=8.6, 2.0 Hz), 7.14 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz), 5.73 (m, 1H), 2.77 (s, 2H), 2.68 (t, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 2.55 (t, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 2.27 (m, 2H), 2.06 (m, 2H), 1.92 (s, 3H), 1.57 (t, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 1.35 (s, 6H), 1.07 (s, 6H). Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C26H35N5OS, 466.3 (M+H). found 466.2.
