Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 4-(1-((2-(2-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-9-methyl-6-morpholino-9H-purin-8-yl)methyl)azetidin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylmorpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2-ethylbenzoimidazol-1-yl)-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (112 mg, 0.29 mmol), 4-azetidin-3-yl-2,2-dimethylmorpholine (58 mg, 0.34 mmol) and 4 Å powdered molecular sieves (200 mg) in DCE (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 4 h before the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (121 mg, 0.57 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 40 h then filtered through celite, washing with DCM. The organic phase was washed with brine (x 1) and concentrated in vacuo. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, MeOH:EtOAc, 0-20%). The resulting oil was loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge which was washed with MeOH/DCM and the product eluted with 2M NH3/MeOH affording 331 as a yellow solid (121 mg, 76%). LCMS (Method G): RT 6.85 min [M+H]+ 546.3. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 8.02-7.97 (m, 1 H); 7.77-7.73 (m, 1 H); 7.29-7.22 (m, 2 H); 4.35 (m, 4 H); 3.91-3.82 (m, 9 H); 3.73 (m, 2 H); 3.57 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 2 H); 3.35 (q, J=7.5 Hz, 2 H); 3.10 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 2 H); 2.98 (p, J=6.6 Hz, 1 H); 2.24 (m, 2 H); 2.04 (s, 2 H); 1.44 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3 H) and 1.25 (s, 6 H)
