Formaldehyde → tert-butyl (6S,7S)-5-methyl-6-[({4-[(2-methylquinolin-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}amino)carbonyl]-5-azaspiro[2.5]octane-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (6S,7S)-6-[({4-[(2-methylquinolin-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}amino)carbonyl]-5-azaspiro[2.5]octane-7-carboxylate (140 mg, 0.27 mmol) in methanol (3.0 mL) was added formaldehyde (37% solution in water, 0.5 mL) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.25 g, 1.2 mmol). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated NaHCO3, water and brine. Dried and concentrated. tert-butyl (6S,7S)-5-methyl-6-[({4-[(2-methylquinolin-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}amino)carbonyl]-5-azaspiro[2.5]octane-7-carboxylate (105.0 mg) was obtained by column using CH2Cl2/Methanol (10%). ESI (M+H)+ 516.5.
