A solution of 5-chloro-N-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-2-[(4-piperidinylmethyl)amino]benzamide from Example 218 (0.50 g, 1.37 mmol) in 10 mL of acetone and 6 mL of 95:5 methanol-acetic acid was treated with sodium cyanoborohydride (0.35 g, 5.5 mmol). After stirring at 50° C. for 24 h, the solution was concentrated in vacuo; and the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography. Elution with 98:2 dichloromethane-methanol furnished the title compound (0.12 g, 21%) as a yellow solid.
