Sodium cyanoborohydride → [1-(5-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl]-methyl-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of [1-(5-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-eth-(E)-ylidene]-methyl-amine (0.1 g, 0.375 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) is added sodium cyano borohydride (0.027 g, 0.449 mmol) at 0° C. then stirred room temperature for 2 h. Reaction mixture is diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer is dried over sodium sulphate, solvent is evaporated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography eluting in 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the crude title compound (0.075 g, crude). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ: 2.21 (d, J=5.32 Hz, 3H), 3.04 (m, 1H), 4.46 (m, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=8.24 Hz, 1H), 8.87 (dd, J1=2.4 Hz, J2=8.28 Hz, 1H), 8.48 (d, J1=2.36 Hz, 1H). LC-MS (m/z): [M+H]=271.2.
