Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 4-{[6-(5-{1-[4-(cyclopropylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)ethyl}-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl]methyl}thiomorpholine 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(5-{1-[4-(cyclopropylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)ethyl}-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (200 mg) in 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL) was added thiomorpholine 1-oxide (155 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. To the reaction mixture was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (280 mg), and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and the title compound (87 mg, yield 36%) was obtained as a colorless amorphous solid from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. MS: 568 (MH+).
