Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-cyano-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid {4-[1-(2-amino-acetyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-2-cyclohex-1-enyl-phenyl]-amide trifluoroacetic acid salt (as prepared in the previous step, 0.42 g, 0.77 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was treated with Na(OAc)3BH (0.33 g, 1.54 mmol) and solid glyoxal (44.6 mg, 0.77 mmol). The mixture stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in MeOH and the solids filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Reverse phase HPLC (C-18 column) (20% to 60% acetonitrile in water with 0.1% TFA over 30 min) afforded the title compound (83 mg, 19% over two steps) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (CD3OD; 400 MHz): δ 8.16-8.09 (m, 1H), 8.05-8.01 (m, 1H), 7.22-7.15 (m, 1H), 7.11-7.06 (m, 1H), 5.84-5.79 (m, 1H), 4.72-4.62 (m, 1H), 4.24-3.91 (m, 2H), 3.89-3.80 (m, 2H), 3.28-3.18 (m, 2H), 2.92-2.79 (m, 2H), 2.28 (br s, 4H), 1.98-1.89 (m, 2H), 1.89-1.76 (m, 4H), 1.76-1.57 (m, 2H). LC-MS (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C26H32N6O3 477.2 (M+H), found 477.2.
