Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 1-((2-(2-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-9-methyl-6-morpholino-9H-purin-8-yl)methyl)-N-methyl-N-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)piperidin-4-amine

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2-ethylbenzoimidazol-1-yl)-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (72 g, 0.19 mmol), methylpiperidin-4-yl(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)amine (42 mg, 0.23 mmol) and 4 Å powdered molecular sieves (200 mg) in DCE (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 6.5 h before the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (81 mg, 0.38 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 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 390 as a cream solid (55 mg, 53%). LCMS (Method G): RT 4.96 min [M+H]+ 546.3. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 8.03-7.99 (m, 1 H); 7.77-7.73 (m, 1 H); 7.29-7.23 (m, 2 H); 4.34 (m, 4 H); 3.96 (m, 1 H); 3.91-3.69 (m, 12 H); 3.45-3.26 (m, 3 H); 2.97 (d, J=11.3 Hz, 2 H); 2.51 (m, 1 H); 2.26 (s, 3 H); 2.16 (t, J=11.3 Hz, 2 H); 2.03 (m, 1 H); 1.89 (m, 2 H); 1.76 (s, 2 H); 1.66 (m, 1 H) and 1.45 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3 H)
