Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-trans-{4-[5-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-6-butyl-pyridazin-3-yloxymethyl]-pyrrolidin-3-yl}-methanol dihydrochloride (0.2 mmol, 104 mg) in dichloromethane (2.0 mL) was added formaldehyde solution in water (37%, 2.0 mmol, 0.2 mL), and 1 drop of acetic acid. Then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (2.0 mmol, 424 mg) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour then condensed, diluted with water/ethyl acetate, and neutralized with NaHCO3 powder. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (DCM to DCM+10% 2N ammonia in MeOH) to give a solid, which was dissolved in DCM (1.0 mL), 2N HCl in ether (1.0 mL) was added, kept at room temperature for 10 min, condensed, triturated with hexanes to yield the title compound (88 mg). LCMS: m/z 464 [M+2]. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.83 and 7.93 (1H, s), 7.45-7.55 (4H, m), 7.36-7.40 (2H, m), 7.31-7.35 (1H, m), 7.20-7.24 (2H, m), 5.20 (2H, s), 4.59-4.63 (2H, m), 3.63-3.95 (4H, m), 2.58-3.3 (9H, m), 1.44-1.53 (2H, m), 1.25-1.33 (2H, m), 0.81 (3H, t).
