Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 2-Chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-8-[4-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-9H-purine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (165 mg, 0.59 mmol), 1-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)piperazine (110 mg, 0.65 mmol) and molecular sieves (4 Å, powdered, 750 mg) in DCE (10 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (170 mg, 0.80 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, DCM:MeOH, 100:0 to 98:2 to 95:5 to 90:10) to afford 2-Chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-8-[4-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-9H-purine as a white solid (250 mg, 98%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 4.27 (m, 4 H), 4.01 (dd, J=11.5, 4.2 Hz, 2 H), 3.81 (m, 7 H), 3.69 (s, 2 H), 3.36 (dd, J=12.5, 10.9 Hz, 2 H), 2.55 (m, 8 H), 2.40 (m, 1 H), 1.75 (d, J=12.5 Hz, 2 H) and 1.56 (m, 2 H)
