Reaction Steps

Sodium triacetoxyl-borohydride (1315 mg, 6.2 mmol) was added to a solution of 6-chloro-pyrazin-2-yl-amine (400 mg, 3.10 mmol) and 3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (818 mg, 3.7 mmol) in 50 ml of DCE, 1 ml of HOAc was added and the mixture was stirred overnight at 50° C., followed by addition of another 50 ml of DCE. The organic phase was washed with water, and the product was purified with column (silica gel, hexane:EtOAc 6:1) to give 50 mg of (6-chloro-pyrazin-2-yl)-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxy-benzyl)-amine, yield 10%.
