Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6.4 g (1.3 eq.) tert-butyl methyl(3-oxopropyl)carbamate were added to a solution of 7.5 g (1 eq.) N,N-dimethyl-4-(thiophen-2-yl)piperidin-4-amine bis hydrochloride in 75 ml methanol at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min at 0° C. 4.9 g (3 eq.) sodium cyanoboron hydride were then added in portions and the mixture was stirred for 90 min at room temperature. The reaction course was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (20% MeOH/CHCl3). As the conversion was not yet complete, the pH of the reaction mixture was adjusted to 5-6 with acetic acid and the mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature. Once the conversion was complete, the methanol was distilled off, water was added, the mixture obtained was extracted with IPA/chloroform (2×100 ml) and the combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4. Following removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; 5% MeOH/CHCl3). 8.5 g (84%) of product were obtained.
