Acetic Acid → 2,2-Dimethyl-1-(5-(1-(4-(methylthio)benzyl)piperidin-3-ylamino)-1H-indazol-1-yl)propan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 25 mL round bottom flask were combined 2,2-dimethyl-1-(5-(piperidin-3-ylamino)-1H-indazol-1-yl)propan-1-one (0.250 g, 0.8 mmol), 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL), 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde (0.127 g, 0.8 mmol), glacial acetic acid (50 μL, 0.8 mmol), and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.229 g, 1.1 mmol). The reaction was evacuated and refilled with nitrogen. The reaction was monitored by HPLC and was complete upon the disappearance of the starting amine. The reaction was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate (10 mL) and dichloromethane (5 mL). After mixing, the organic phase was isolated, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude product. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel gave the title compound as an off-white solid (250 mg, 69%).
