Reaction Steps

3-Iodo-1-(4-piperidyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (500 mg, 1.45 mmol), formaldehyde (30% solution in water, 0.16 mL, 1.60 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (430 mg, 2.03 mmol) were mixed in 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added to adjust the pH to about 8. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 3-iodo-1-(1-methyl-4-piperidyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (275 mg, 53%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.85 (m, 2H), 2.09 (m, 4H), 2.22 (s, 3H), 2.88 (m, 2H), 4.75 (m, 1H), 8.19 (s, 1H), 8.32 (s, 1H).
