Reaction Steps

Add isovaleraldehyde (64.5 mg, 0.750 mmol) to a solution of 6-(5-aminomethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yloxy)-nicotinamide (intermediate 21, 148 mg, 0.500 mmol) dissolved in MeOH (5 mL) and stir at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours before adding NaBH4 (38 mg, 1.00 mmol). After stirring for an additional two hours, concentrate the reaction mixture and redissolved in EtOAc. Wash the EtOAc solution with 5% aq. KOH and brine before drying (MgSO4) and concentrating. Purify on silica gel (5% (1N NH3/MeOH)/DCM) to obtain 123 mg of the title compound as a white foam.
