Sodium Bicarbonate → 1-{[5-(5-{1-[4-(cyclopropylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)ethyl}-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]methyl}azetidin-3-ol

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(5-{1-[4-(cyclopropylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)ethyl}-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carbaldehyde (300 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) were added 3-hydroxyazetidine hydrochloride (105 mg), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (270 mg) and triethylamine (177 μL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hr. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was subjected to basic silica gel column chromatography to give pale-yellow amorphous solid from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-methanol (9:1, volume ratio). The pale-yellow amorphous solid was purified by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (97 mg, yield 29%) as a pale-yellow amorphous solid. MS: 529 (MH+).
