Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 2-{1-[2-Chloro-9-methyl-6-((S)-3-methylmorpholin-4-yl)-9H-purin-8-ylmethyl]piperidin-4-yl}propan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-9-methyl-6-((S)-3-methylmorpholin-4-yl)-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (450 mg, 1.52 mmol), 2-piperidin-4-ylpropan-2-ol (239 mg, 1.67 mmol) and 4 Å powdered molecular sieves (450 mg) in DCE (10 mL) was stirred for 6 h before the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (644 mg, 3.04 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 17 h then filtered through Celite®, washing with MeOH. The resulting filtrate was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge which was washed with MeOH and the product eluted with 2M NH3/MeOH/DCM. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, MeOH:DCM, 0-4%) affording the title compound as a cream solid (538 mg, 84%). LCMS (method H): RT 2.02 min [M+H]+ 423.3
