2-Methylbutylamine → (5-{[(2-Methylbutyl)amino]methyl}-2-thienyl)boronic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The {5-[(ethylamino)methyl]-2-thienyl}boronic acid used to prepare 3-[1-(ethylsulfonyl)-4-piperidinyl]-5-(5-{[(2-methylbutyl)amino]methyl}-2-thienyl)-1H-indole-7-carboxamide was prepared as follows: A solution of (5-formyl-2-thienyl)boronic acid (50 mg, 0.32 mmol) in MeOH (0.5 mL) and a solution of NaCNBH3 (40 mg, 0.64 mmol) in MeOH (0.5 mL) were added to (2-methylbutyl)amine (28 mg, 0.32 mmol) in a 2-dram vial. The vial was capped and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a 2 g SCX cartridge (pre-equilibrated with 3 mL MeOH), eluting in sequence with MeOH (6 mL) and a 2 M solution of NH3/MeOH (9 mL). The NH3/MeOH fraction was concentrated under a stream of nitrogen to give 43 mg of crude (5-{[(2-methylbutyl)amino]methyl}-2-thienyl)boronic acid.
