Formaldehyde → 2-(2-(3-azidopropyl)-5-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(2-(3-azidopropyl)-5-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine (0.050 g, 0.100 mmol) in 1 mL DCE was added formaldehyde (0.033 g, 37 wt % in water, 0.401 mmol), followed by sodium triacetoxy borohydride (0.023 g, 0.110 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred vigorously at room temperature overnight, then treated with saturated Na2CO3 solution (10 mL) and stirred for 10 minutes. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL) and the combined organic phases were washed with brine (10 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (0-3% MeOH/DCM) to afford the desired product as a yellow foam, 0.046 g, 89%.
