Sodium Hydroxide → N-[4-([1,3]Thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yloxy)benzyl]-beta-alanine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-([1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yloxy)-benzaldehyde (100 mg, 0.39 mmol) and β-alanine methyl ester (54 mg, 0.39 mmol, 1 equiv.) was added methanol (2 mL) followed by 1 N NaOH (430 μL). The reaction was allowed to stir at rt for 1 h before the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (95 mg, 0.39 mmol, 1 equiv.). Stirring was allowed to continue for 4 h before the reaction was concentrated and purified using preparative reversed phase HPLC to afford the product as white powder (40 mg, 31%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): 8.49 (d, J=4.8, 1H), 8.33 (d, J=7.9, 1H), 8.27 (s, 1H), 7.65 (d, J=8.2, 2H), 7.55 (d, J=8.2, 2H), 7.38-7.33 (m, 1H), 4.28 (s, 2H), 3.24 (t, J=6.4, 2H), 2.58 (t, J=6.4, 2H). MS (ESI): Mass calcd for C16H15N3O3S, 329.08; m/z found, 330.1 [M+H]+.
