Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 2-Chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-8-(4-oxetan-3-ylpiperidin-1-ylmethyl)-9H-purine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (1.0 g, 3.55 mmol), 4-oxetan-3-ylpiperidine (600 mg, 4.25 mmol) and molecular sieves (4 Å, powdered, 5 g) in anhydrous THF (25 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.5 g, 7.08 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for 18 h, then loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge (25 g). The cartridge was then washed with methanol and the desired product was subsequently eluted using 2 M NH3 in MeOH. The product was collected and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography (Si—PPC, DCM:MeOH; 100:0 to 99:1 to 98:2 to 95:5 to 90:10) to afford the title compound as a white foam (0.82 g, 57%). LCMS (Method H): RT=2.38 min, M+H+=408.
