Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-(3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinolin-2-yl)-1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-5-carbaldehyde (30 mg, 0.07 mmol) prepared in Step 1 of Example 864 and 3-chlorobenzylamine (9.75 μl, 0.08 mmol) in methanol (3 ml) was refluxed for 3 hours. Titanium(IV) isopropoxide (40 μl) and sodium borohydride (5.49 mg, 0.15 mmol) were added at room temperature to the reaction mixture, which was then stirred overnight. Water was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/5, v/v) to give 21.7 mg of the titled compound as a white solid.
