Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [3-[4-(3-Amino-propyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-propyl]-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-amine (Intermediate of example 44) (130 mg, 0.41 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) isobutyraldehyde (62 μL, 0.46 mmol), triethylamine (26 μL, 0.16 mmol) and 3 Å molecular sieves are added. The reaction media is stirred for 3 h and cooled before NaBH4 (78 mg, 2.05 mmol) is added portionwise over 30 min. Stirring is left for 1.5 h, water (10 mL) is added and the media is filtered. Compound is extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL). Combined organic layers are dried over MgSO4. Crude compound is purified by thick-layer chromatography (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH: 90/10/1.2).
