Participants

Reaction Steps

Add glacial acetic acid (0.25 mL) over 25 minutes to a solution of (S)-(3,5-bistrifluoromethylbenzyl)-(7,9-dimethyl-1-piperidin-4-ylmethyl-8-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-5-yl)-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amine (Example 160) (0.038 g, 0.057 mmol), 37% aqueous formaldehyde (0.014 mL, 0.189 mmol) and sodium cyanoborohydride (0.011 g, 0.172 mmol) in acetonitrile (2.5 mL) at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen and stir for 18 h. Dilute the reaction with dichloromethane (20 mL) and wash with 2 N sodium hydroxide and brine (10 mL each). Dry the organic layer over sodium sulfate, filter and remove the solvent under reduced pressure. Purify the residue using flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with dichloromethane/methanol/concentrated ammonium hydroxide (90:10:1), to provide the title compound as a white crushable foam (0.028 g, 72%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 1.15-1.70 (m, 4H), 1.83-2.06 (m, 7H), 2.33-2.35 (m, 9H), 2.76-3.03 (m, 5H), 3.24 (br s, 1H), 4.13 (m, 3H), 4.80-4.87 (m, 1H), 5.14 (br s, 1H), 5.58 (br s, 1H), 6.58 (m, 1H), 7.77-7.78 (m, 3H); ESI MS m/z 678 [C31H36F9N7+H]+.
