Participants

Reaction Steps

N2-[(6-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methyl]-N-cyclopentylglycinamide (Example 187, Step 1) (0.33 g, 1.06 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (5.30 mL) and formaldehyde (0.087 mL, 1.17 mmol) and acetic acid (0.12 mL, 2.12 mmol) were added. The reaction was stirred for 45 minutes and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.36 g, 1.70 mmol) was added. Once complete, the reaction was then quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography to yield the title compound.
