Acetaldehyde → HCID 117899620, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (114 μL) was added to a suspension of 8,9-dimethyl-6-{4-[2-(piperidin-4-yl)ethoxy]-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}-9H-purine-2-carbonitrile monohydrochloride (128 mg) in dichloroethane (3 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 minutes. After the reaction mixture was ice-cooled, acetic acid (76 μL), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (113 mg), and acetaldehyde (45 μL) were added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour under ice-cooling. After a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution was added to the reaction mixture, extraction thereof was performed using CHCl3, and the extract was washed with water and saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3). The obtained product was washed with diisopropyl ether, and collected by filtration, whereby 6-{4-[2-(1-ethylpiperidin-4-yl)ethoxy]-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}-8,9-dimethyl-9H-purine-2-carbonitrile (79 mg) was obtained as a pale yellow solid.
