Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 4-{1-[2-Chloro-6-morpholin-4-yl-9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-9H-purin-8-ylmethyl]azetidin-3-yl}piperazin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-6-morpholin-4-yl-9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-9H-purine-8-carbaldehyde (1.06 g, 3.01 mmol) and 4-azetidin-3-ylpiperazin-2-one (560 mg, 3.61 mmol) in DCE (60 mL) and DMF (20 mL) was allowed to stir at r.t. for 10 min before the addition of 4 Å powdered molecular sieves (3.0 g) followed by sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.28 g, 6.04 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 64 h then filtered through Celite® which was washed with DCM. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue dissolved in EtOAc and washed with NaHCO3, H2O and brine. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo affording the title compound as a yellow gum (997 mg, 67%). LCMS (method A): RT 2.19 and 2.11 min [M−C5H9O+H]+407.3
