Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-2-[(4-piperidinylmethyl)amino]-5-methylbenzamide from Example 204 (1.0 g, 2.78 mmol) in 6 mL of 95:5 methanol-acetic acid was treated with excess cyclopropylmethyl ketone (5.52 mL, 55.6 mmol), followed by sodium cyanoborohydride (0.65 g, 10.3 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 24 hr, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo; and the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography. Elution with 9:1 dichloromethane-methanol afforded 0.76 g (64%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
