Morpholine → 1-methyl-N-(4-(3-(morpholinomethyl)pyridin-2-yloxy)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-(4-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylamino)phenoxy)nicotinaldehyde (0.2 g, 0.6 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) was added morpholine (0.05 mL, 0.6 mmol). Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.1 g, 0.6 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 3 h at RT. LC/MS showed complete conversion. The reaction mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-10% MeOH/DCM) to afford product 1-methyl-N-(4-(3-(morpholinomethyl)pyridin-2-yloxy)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine as solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 416.1 (M+1). IC50 (uM) +++++.
