Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[7-Methyl-1-oxo-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-5-yl]-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (91 mg, 0.212 mmol), in ethanol (10 mL) was added sodium borohydride (10 mg, 0.212 mmol). The mixture stirred for 4 hrs at room temperature and was poured into water and was extracted with ether. The organics were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with 30-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes. The isolated product stirred in 1N HCl/MeOH overnight and was neutralized with 1N NaOH, extracted with ether, and concentrated to afford the title compound (62 mg, 68%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.74 (s, 1H), 78.61 (s, 1H), 8.15 (s, 1H), 7.41-7.36 (m, 4H), 7.22 (d, 2H), 4.91 (s, 2H), 4.82 (s, 2H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 2.85 (s, 3H).
