Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 5-chloro-N-(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2-[(4-piperidinylmethyl)amino]benzamide from Example 99-A (0.45 g, 1.25 mmol) in 10 mL of 95:5 methanol-acetic acid was treated with excess cyclopentanone (1.11 mL, 12.5 mmol), followed by sodium cyanoborohydride (5.0 ml of a 1 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 6.0 mmol). After stirring at 50° C. for 36 h, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo; and the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography. Elution with 9:1 dichloromethane-2 M ammonia in methanol afforded 0.31 g (58%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
