Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 2-[1-(5-Chloro-7-morpholin-4-yl-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-2-ylmethyl)piperidin-4-yl]propan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-7-morpholin-4-yl-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-carbaldehyde (400 mg, 1.4 mmol), 2-piperidin-4-yl-propan-2-ol (242 mg, 1.7 mmol), and 4 Å molecular sieves (1.5 g) in 1,2-dichloroethane (20 mL) was stirred at RT for 6 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (593 mg, 2.8 mmol) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at RT under nitrogen atmosphere for 18 h. The suspension was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PPC, (10% MeOH in EtOAc): EtOAc, gradient 0:100 to 20:80) to afford the title compound as an orange solid (344 mg, 60%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.98-3.93 (6 H, m), 3.85 (5 H, m), 3.08 (2 H, m), 2.28 (2 H, m), 1.79 (2 H, m), 1.48 (3 H, m), 1.23-1.21 (6 H, m).
