Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzothiazol-2-yl-piperidin-4-yl-amine (23.3 mg, 0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and 2-ethoxy-naphthalene-1-carbaldehyde (commercially available, 24.0 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv) in ethanol (2 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (23.42 μL, 25.9 mg, 0.2 mmol, 2.0 equiv) and acetic acid (18.0 mg, 0.3 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and the mixture stirred at 40° C. After 1 h, sodium cyano borohydride (7.54 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added and the mixture stirred at 40° C. over night. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification by preparative HPLC on reversed phase eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile/water provided 3.3 mg (8%) of the title compound. MS (ESI): 418.4 [M+H]+.
