Dimethylamine → 1-(3-(4-(1-ethyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)-N,N-dimethylmethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-[3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-ethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-2-(3-formylphenyl)-1-phenylsulfonyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (1.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added a solution of 2 M dimethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (2.0 mmol) followed by sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.9 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and concentrated to dryness under vacuum. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and evaporated under vacuum. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (0-5% (5% ammonium hydroxide, methanol)/methylene chloride) gave the title compound as a yellow solid (87%). ESMS [M+H]+: 607.4
