Sodium Hydroxide → 1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)-3-(2-(4-(1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-amino)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-3-(pyrid-2-yl)pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine 1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)-3-(pyrid-2-yl)-3-(2-oxoethyl)pyrrolidine and (0.24 mmol), (1-(2-ethyloxyethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)(piperidin-4-yl)amine (0.28 mmol), and 3 Å molecular sieves (about 12 g) in methanol (5 mL). After 6 hours, add sodium cyanoborohydride (0.15 g, 2.4 mmol) and stir under an inert atmosphere. After 18 hours, add a solution of 2 M sodium hydroxide and dichloromethane. After 1 hour, filter, separate the layers in the filtrate, dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give the title compound.
