Water → 4'-{[4-(4-Morpholin-4-ylcyclohexyl)-5-oxo-7-propyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl]methyl}biphenyl-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (5 mL) of 4′-{[5-oxo-4-(4-oxocyclohexyl)-7-propyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl]methyl}biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (0.5 g) and morpholine (0.14 mL) in acetic acid was added sodium cyanoborohydride (0.34 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was poured into saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The obtained extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a colorless solid (0.2 g, 35%).
