Sodium Bicarbonate → 1,3-Diacetoxymethyl-5-[2-[1-[2-[4-(5-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]cyclohexyl]ethoxy]benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,3-Diacetoxymethyl-5-[2-[1-(formylmethyl)cyclohexyl]ethoxy]benzene (synthesized in Example 32) (215 mg) and 2-(piperidin-4-ylamino)-5-methylpyridine (synthesized in Preparation Example 4-3) (126 mg) were dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL). To this was added acetic acid (0.04 mL) at room temperature. The solution was stirred for 45 minutes. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (295 mg) was added to the solution at room temperature and it was stirred for 3 hours. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the solution and it was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by chromatography [silica gel, chloroform-methanol (10:1)] to give the title compound (258 mg).
