Reaction Steps

To a 25° C. solution of 4-(5-aminomethyl-naphthalene-1-sulfonylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester 55 (62 mg, 0.159 mmol) in MeOH (4 mL) was added 4-chloro-benzaldehyde (45 mg, 0.318 mmol) and sodium cyanoborohydride (50 mg, 0.795 mmol). After stirring for 2 h at 25° C., the solution was concentrated in vacuo and the resultant crude material was purified by reverse phase HPLC to provide the title compound (H-45) as its formate salt. 1H NMR (300 MHz, MeOD) δ 8.78 (d, 1H), 8.38 (s, 1H), 8.33 (m, 2H), 7.70 (m, 3H), 7.45 (m, 4H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 4.20 (s, 2H), 4.05 (q, 2H), 3.75 (d, 2H), 3.20 (m, 1H), 2.75 (m, 2H), 1.50 (m, 2H), 1.25 (m, 2H), 1.17 (t, 3H); LC/MS m/z 516 (M+H)+.
