Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [trans-4-(2-azetidin-3-yl-1H-imidazo[4,5-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-1-yl)cyclohexyl]acetonitrile (14 mg, 0.038 mmol) in methanol (0.5 mL)/tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL)/acetonitrile (0.5 mL) was added 37% aq. formaldehyde solution (12 μL, 0.16 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min before sodium triacetoxyborohydride (16 mg, 0.077 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and then diluted with MeOH and purified by prep-HPLC (XBridge C18 column, eluting with a gradient of acetonitrile/water containing 0.1% ammonium hydroxide, at flow rate of 60 mL/min) to give the desired product (0.8 mg, 6%). LCMS calculated for C20H24N5S (M+H)+: m/z=366.2. Found: 366.1.
