Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-(6-Morpholin-4-yl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthene-2-carbaldehyde (2)(0.392 g, 0.97 mmol) in ethanol (7 mL) at room temperature was added sodium cyanoborohydride (121 mg, 1.93 mmol), followed by the addition of acetic acid (1 mL). After 5 hours, a second addition of acetic acid (1 mL) was made. After a further 12 hours, the excess borohydride was quenched with acetone. After evaporation in vacuo, saturated NaHCO3 was added, followed by extraction into dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The brown coloured solid was dried under vacuum at 50° C. to give the crude title compound (0.332 g, 84%) which was used without any further purification. m/z (LC-MS, ESP), RT=3.09 min, (M++1)=408.3
