Reaction Steps

N-{1-[4-((S)-2-Nitro-6,7-dihydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazin-7-ylmethoxy)phenyl]piperidin-4-yl}-N-[4-(4-trifluoromethoxybenzyloxy)phenyl]amine (0.30 g) was suspended in 1,2-dichloroethane (2 ml). A 37% formaldehyde aqueous solution (0.362 ml) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (149 mg) were added to the suspension and stirred at room temperature overnight. A 37% formaldehyde aqueous solution (0.362 ml) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (149 mg) were further added thereto and stirred at room temperature for 1 day. A sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=2:1→methylene chloride:methanol=4:1) and crystallized from ether to afford the title compound as a pale yellow powder (130 mg).
