Formaldehyde → 6-[1-(Methyl-phenethyl-amino)-indan-5-yloxy]-nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using a method similar to Example 13, using 6-(1-phenethylamino-indan-5-yloxy)-nicotinamide (example 18, 980 mg, 2.62 mmol), paraformaldehyde (1.03 g), and NaBH3CN (494 mg, 7.87 mmol) gives the title compound (930 mg) as a light yellow solid. Mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=388 (M+1); 1HNMR (CDCl3): 8.59 (s, 1H), 8.16 (d, 1H), 7.30-7.17 (m, 6H), 6.97-6.91 (m, 3H), 5.79 (br. s, 2H), 4.45 (t, 1H), 2.96-2.74 (m, 4H), 2.68 (m, 2H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.09 (m, 2H).
