Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[6-butyl-5-(4-cyclohexyloxy-phenyl)-pyridazin-3-yloxymethyl]-morpholine dihydrochloride (0.067 mmol, 0.031 g) and aqueous formaldehyde (37%, 0.304 mmol, 0.025 mL) in dry DCM (2 mL) was added macroporous resin-bound triacetoxyborohydride (loading 2.36 mmol/gram, 0.364 mmol, 0.154 g). The mixture was shaken for 12 hours. The reaction was filtered and the resin was washed with DCM (5 mL). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified on a 4 g SiO2 cartridge with 4-6% (2N NH3 in MeOH) in DCM to give 2-[6-butyl-5-(4-cyclohexyloxy-phenyl)-pyridazin-3-yloxymethyl]-4-methyl-morpholine. The neutral amine was treated with 2N HCl in diethyl ether (1 mL) and DCM (1 mL). The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the salt was triturated with diethyl ether and filtered to provide the title compound (0.022 g).
