Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-{5-chloro-8-[(3S)-3-fluoropyrrolidin-l-yl]quinolin-7-yl}ethanone (0.10 g, 0.34 mmol) and ammonium acetate (0.263 g, 3.42 mmol) in methanol (1.5 mL) and acetonitrile (1.5 mL) was heated at 65° C. in a sealed tube for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, sodium cyanoborohydride (0.064 g, 1.0 mmol). The reaction was heated at 65° C. overnight, cooled to room temperature and quenched with sat. NaHCO3 solution and extracted with Ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified on a preparative LCMS (pH=10) to give the desired product. LCMS calculated for C15H18ClFN3 (M+H)+: m/z=294.1; Found: 294.0.
