Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-[2-(benzylthio)-3-oxopropyl]-7-[methyl(pyridin-2-ylsulfonyl)amino]-5-[3-(methylsulfonyl)propoxy]-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (0.90 g) and morpholine (0.15 mL) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, and ice-cooled. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.39 g) was added to this solution, and the mixture was stirred from under ice-cooling to room temperature for 16 hr. The reaction solution was acidified with aqueous citric acid solution, basified with aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=6:4-10:0) to give the title compound (0.89 g, yield: 89%) as a colorless amorphous solid. MS: 716 (MH+).
