Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → N,N-dimethyl-1-((9-methyl-2-(2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-6-morpholino-9H-purin-8-yl)methyl)azetidine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 9-methyl-2-(2-methylbenzoimidazol-1-yl)-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (100 mg, 0.27 mmol) and azetidine-3-carboxylic acid dimethylamide hydrochloride salt (53 mg, 0.32 mmol) in DCE (4 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (86 mg, 0.41 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for 18 h, then loaded onto an Isolute® SCX-2 cartridge (10 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, EtOAc:MeOH; gradient from 100:0 to 70:30) to afford 363 as a white solid (83 mg, 64%). LCMS (Method G): RT=5.23 min, M+H+=490. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.08 (m, 1 H); 7.70 (m, 1 H); 7.28 (m, 2 H); 4.35 (m, 4 H); 3.89-3.82 (m, 9 H); 3.69-3.62 (m, 2 H); 3.57-3.46 (m, 3 H); 2.96 (s, 3 H); 2.93 (s, 3 H) and 2.90 (s, 3H)
