Procedure
Combine (S)-7-chloro-10-[3-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-4H-3-thia-4,9-diaza-benzo[f]azulene (571.5 mg, 1.52 mmol), formaldehyde (135.4 μL, 1.67 mmol, 37% in water), and dichloromethane (20.0 ml). Stir the mixture at ambient temperature for 5 minutes and then add sodium triacetoxyborohydride (482.0 mg, 2.27 mmol). After stirring for 30 minutes at ambient temperature, quench the reaction with saturated sodium bicarbonate. Remove the organic portion and wash (brine), dry (sodium sulfate), and reduce the extracts to residue. Purify the residue on silica gel using a gradient of dichloromethane to dichloromethane/methanol (90:10) to give 418.3 mg (71%) of the title compound as a brown foam: mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=391.1 (M+1).
