Participants

Reaction Steps

0.26 ml triethylamine is added to a solution of 0.30 g 2-(5-piperidin-4H[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-pyridine*2HCl (prepared from tert-butyl 4-(hydrazinocarbonyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate and pyridine-2-carbonitrile according to a procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,011,218 or WO2005100344) in 10 ml methanol. To this solution a solution of 0.33 g 4-{6-phenyl-3-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-yl}benzaldehyde in 10 ml DMF is added, followed by 0.12 ml glacial acetic acid and 0.35 g NaBH(OAc)3. The resulting mixture is stirred at room temperature. Additional portions of 2 equivalents NaBH(OAc)3 are added after 1.5, 3, 6 and 8 hours. The solvent is removed by evaporation after 22 h and the residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol) to yield the desired compound.
