Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-{5-chloro-8-[(2R)-2-(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl]quinolin-7-yl}ethanone (14 mg, 0.044 mmol) and ammonium acetate (33.8 mg, 0.439 mmol) in methanol (0.25 mL,) and acetonitrile (0.25 mL) was heated at 65° C. in a sealed tube for 30 minutes. After cooling, sodium cyanoborohydride (5.52 mg, 0.0878 mmol) was added to the resultant mixture. The reaction was heated at 65° C. for another 4 hours, then cooled to room temperature, quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate, and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was used directly in the next step. LCMS calculated for C17H23ClN3O(M+H)+: m/z=320.2; found: 302.1.
