Reaction Steps

Rac-5-({3-[trans-2-hydroxycyclohexyl]-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-6-yl}methyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde was prepared by the same procedure as described for the synthesis of 6-[6-acetylpyridin-3-yl)methyl]-3-[(1S,2S)-2-hydroxycyclohexyl]benzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one in Example 14. To a solution of rac-5-({3-[trans-2-hydroxycyclohexyl]-4-oxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-6-yl}methyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (0.070 g, 0.17 mmol) in 3 mL of MeOH was added sodium borohydride (0.0096 g, 0.25 mmol). After 1 h, the mixture was treated with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, concentrated in vacuo, and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic solution was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via preparative reverse phase HPLC to provide the title compound that gave a proton NMR spectra consistent with theory and a mass ion (ES+) of 416.0 for [M+H]+: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 9.06-9.04 (m, 1H), 8.53 (s, 1H), 8.31 (s, 1H), 8.07 (s, 1H), 8.02-7.95 (m, 1H), 7.70-7.67 (m, 1H), 7.46-7.43 (m, 1H), 7.12-7.10 (m, 1H), 4.71 (s, 2H), 4.69-4.61 (m, 1H), 4.49 (s, 2H), 4.04-4.00 (m, 1H), 2.28-2.18 (m, 1H), 1.94-1.88 (m, 1H), 1.72-1.40 (m, 6H).
