Sodium cyanoborohydride → 1-(Benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(2-tert-butylindolin-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(2-tert-butyl-1H-indol-5-yl)cyclo-propanecarboxamide (851 mg, 2.26 mmol) in acetic acid (60 mL) was added NaBH3CN (309 mg, 4.91 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min at room temperature after which no starting material could be detected by LCMS. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (5-40% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(2-tert-butylindolin-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (760 mg, 89%).
