Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-(5-amino-pyridin-3-yl)-1-(1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-methyl-1,3-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-2-one (Example 45, 38 mg, 0.099 mmol), acetaldehyde (Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland, 4.8 mg, 0.108 mmol) in DCM (2 ml) was stirred for 1.5 h at rt in presence of acetic acid (0.02 ml, 3.54 mmol). Was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (52.2 mg, 0.246 mmol) and the RM was stirred 1.5 h at rt, before being quenched with aqueous saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM (2×). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by Prep.HPLC (H2O (0.1% TFA)/CH3CN 95:5 to 60:40). The fractions containing products were collected together and basified with NaHCO3 (0.3 g), before being concentrated, saturated with NaCl and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to give the title compound as an off-white solid.
