Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-4-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-phenyl-ethylamino)-3-(4-methyl-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1H-pyridin-2-one (25 mg, 0.054 mmol) in methanol (0.5 mL) was added acetone (0.25 mL) and 1 M THF solution of NaCNBH3 (0.2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by prep. HPLC to yield the title compound (12 mg, 44%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ7.10–7.24 (6H, m), 7.08 (1H, s), 7.06 (1H, s), 6.06 (1H, d, J=7.9 Hz), 3.58–4.01 (10H, m), 3.34 (1H, m), 3.14 (1H, m), 2.98 (1H, dd, J=5.9, 13.7 Hz), 2.83 (1H, dd, J=7.9, 13.7 Hz), 2.60 (3H, s), 1.44 (6H, d, J=6.7 Hz). LCMS (M+H)+ m/z 501 (t=1.80 min.).
