Reaction Steps

To a solution of [4-[6-amino-5-(1-isopropyltriazol-4-yl)-3-pyridyl]-2-methoxy-phenyl]-morpholino-methanone (200 mg, 0.473 mmol) in THF (10.0 mL) was added BF3.Et2O (0.3 mL, 2.36 mmol) at 0° C. and stirred for 30 min. After 30 min, NaBH4 (89 mg, 2.36 mmol) was added at 0° C. and stirred at room temperature for 18 h. After cooling to 0° C., quenched with MeOH (2 mL) and heated to reflux for 6 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (50 mL), washed with water (30 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Crude compound was purified by column using 100-200 mesh silica gel. The column was eluted with 100% EtOAc to afford 100 mg (yield: 51.81%) of the title compound as white solid.
