Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 4'-({5-oxo-7-propyl-4-[1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)piperidin-4-yl]-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl}methyl)biphenyl-2-carbonitrile

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4′-[(5-oxo-4-piperidin-4-yl-7-propyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)methyl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (453 mg) and tetrahydropyran-4H-pyran-4-one (120 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (318 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by basic silica gel chromatography [eluent: methanol/ethyl acetate=0/100→10/90 (volume ratio)] to give the title compound as a colorless amorphous compound (317 mg, 59%).
