Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-Methyl-5-[(methyl-piperidin-4-ylmethyl-amino)-methyl]-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (30 mg, 0.065 mmol) in methanol (1.5 mL) was added formic acid (0.02 ml), formaldehyde (0.1 mL), and Sodium cyanoborohydride (0.2 mL, 0.1 M in THF) respectively. The mixture stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and was then diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with brin, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide the title compound (15 mg, 38%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.35 (d, 2H), 7.21-7.14 (m, 4H), 4.78 (s, 2H), 4.22 (s, 2H), 3.48 (s, 2H), 2.94 (d, 2H), 2.75 (s, 3H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.23 (d, 2H), 2.16 (s, 3H), 2.01 (t, 2H), 1.84-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.54-1.51 (m, 1H), 1.25-1.20 (m, 2H).
