Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Methyl-2-pyridin-2-yl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (5-fluoro-3-hydroxymethyl-indol-1-yl)-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-methyl-2-pyridin-2-yl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (5-fluoro-3-formyl-indol-1-yl)-amide (230 mg, 0.614 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) is treated with NaBH4 (233 mg, 6.14 mmol) and stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture is diluted with EtOAc (50 mL) and H2O, neutralized with HCl (conc.), and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic layer is dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by preparative reverse-phase HPLC eluting with 20%-100% MeCN in H2O to afford 4-methyl-2-pyridin-2-yl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (5-fluoro-3-hydroxymethyl-indol-1-yl)-amide (90 mg, 8%). MS: 378 (M+H); 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 11.92 (s, NH, 1H), 9.27 (s, 1H), 8.81 (d, 1H), 8.47 (d, 1H), 8.05 (m, 1H), 7.61 (m, 1H), 7.44 (m, 3H), 7.10 (m, 1H), 5.00 (t, OH, 1H), 4.66 (d, 2H), 2.78 (s, 3H).
