Dichloromethane → 6-tert-Butyl-2-(2-hydroxymethyl-3-{1-methyl-5-[5-(morpholine-4-carbonyl)-pyridin-2-ylamino]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyridin-3-yl}-phenyl)-2H-phthalazin-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

121 mg (0.20 mmol) of 2-(6-tert-butyl-1-oxo-1H-phthalazin-2-yl)-6-{1-methyl-5-[5-(morpholine-4-carbonyl)-pyridin-2-ylamino]-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyridin-3-yl}-benzaldehyde was weighed into a 20 mL reaction vial fitted with a stir bar and septum. Added 4 mL of CH2Cl2 and 2 mL MeOH and stirred to obtain a clear amber solution. Added 1.1 mL (0.29 mmol) of a freshly prepared 10 mg/mL solution of sodium borohydride in MeOH. Stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. Quenched the reaction with 5 mL of saturated aqueous NH4Cl. Added 5 mL of CH2Cl2 to the reaction mixture and separated phases. Washed the organic phase with 5 mL brine, dried over Na2SO4, and removed the solvent on rotavap. Added 2 mL acetonitrile to the residue and immersed the vial in an ultrasonic bath. The residue dissolved momentarily, then a white precipitate rapidly crystallized out of solution. Added 5 mL Et2O to the mixture and collected the precipitate by filtration. Dried under high vacuum to obtain 95 mg of the title compound as an off-white solid. MS (ESI) 621 (M+H)+.
