Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 7-[2-(2-Chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purin-8-yl)ethyl]-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purin-8-yl)acetaldehyde (157 mg, 0.53 mmol) in DCE (10 mL) was added 7-azaspiro[3.5]nonan-2-ol (109 mg, 0.77 mmol) and powdered 4 Å molecular sieves. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (225 mg, 1.06 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture stirred for a further 16 h. The reaction mixture was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge, washed with MeOH then the desired product eluted with 2 M NH3 in MeOH. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, 0-10% 2 M NH3/MeOH in DCM) to give the title compound as a colourless oil (155 mg, 69%). LCMS (Method H): RT=2.41 min, [M+H]+ 421.5
