Formaldehyde → N6-(1-Methyl-4-piperidylmethyl)-4-(3-chloro-4-(((cyclopropylamino)carbonyl)amino)phenoxy)-7-methoxy-6-quinolinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

After adding trifluoroacetic acid (1 ml) to tert-butyl 4-((((4-(3-chloro-4-(((cyclopropylamino)carbonyl)amino)phenoxy)-7-methoxy-6-quinolyl)carbonyl)amino)methyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylate (249 mg, 0.40 mmol) at room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction solution was poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate for neutralization and extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent, the residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml)-methanol (5 ml), and then 37% aqueous formaldehyde (0.5 ml), acetic acid (0.05 ml) and sodium cyanoborohydride (50 mg, 0.8 mmol) were added in that order at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction solution was distributed between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and saturated saline and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent, ethyl acetate was used for crystallization and the crystals were filtered out and blow-dried to obtain the title compound (125.6 mg, 0.233 mmol, 58.4%) as white crystals.
