Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4-methyl-2-{4-[3-(2-methylpyrrolidin-1-yl)propoxy]phenyl}-N-propyl-1,3-oxazole-5-carboxamide 97 (0.25 g, 0.57 mmol, 1 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) is treated with borane-tetrahydrofuran complex 1 M in tetrahydrofuran (2.2 ml, 2.2 mmol, 4 eq) and refluxed overnight. The solvent is then removed under reduced pressure and the residue is taken up in ethyl acetate and washed with a saturated solution of aqueous ammonium chloride. The organic layer is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue is then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and a 2 N sodium hydroxide solution is added to reach pH 10. The mixture is refluxed for 40 h and a saturated solution of aqueous ammonium chloride is added and the solution extracted two times with ethyl acetate. The organic layers are dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. Purification by chromatography over silicagel (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol/ammonia 96/3.6/0.4) gives 0.115 g of N-(cyclopropylmethyl)-N-[(4-methyl-2-{4-[3-(2-methylpyrrolidin-1-yl)propoxy]phenyl}-1,3-oxazol-5-yl)methyl]-N-propylamine 112.
