Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine hydrochloride (Halczenko and Hartman; Synthetic Commun., 1996, 26, 1363; 0.439 g, 2.5 mmol) in CHCl2CHCl2 (15 mL) was added 1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-5-imidazole carboxaldehyde (0.58 g, 2.75 mmol), 4 Å sieves and triethylamine (0.35 mL, 2.5 mmol) followed by NaBH(OAc)3 (1.59 g, 7.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h., the mixture was diluted with EtOAc, filtered through celite, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was stirred in 2N HCl (50 mL) for 2 h. then extracted with ether. The aqueous layer was basified with 40% NaOH solution and extracted 3× CH2Cl2 which was then washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent evaporated in vacuo. Chromatography (silica gel; 2.5% MeOH in CHCl3) followed by crystallization from ether afforded the title compound as a white solid.
