Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(5-formyl-3-thienyl)-3-{1-[(1-methylethyl)sulfonyl]-4-piperidinyl}-1H-indole-7-carboxamide (25 mg, 0.054 mmol) in DMSO (2 mL) was added (2R)-2-pyrrolidinylmethanol (101.15 mg, 1 mmol) and 2 drops of acetic acid. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h followed by an addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (212 mg, 0.54 mmol). The mixture was reacted overnight.
