Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[(1-Benzylpiperidin-4-yl)amino]-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carbaldehyde (289 mg, 0.620 mmol) in methanol was stirred with sodium borohydride (35.3 mg, 0.93 mmol) at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and, after addition of water, extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1 (v/v)) to give the title compound (258 mg, yield 89%).
