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 (×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)
