Formaldehyde → 4-(3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-azetanylmethyl)-1-methyl-4-piperidinol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-azetanylmethyl)-4-piperidinol (0.035 g, 0.000074 mol) and formaldehyde (0.006 mL, 37% in water, 0.000082 mol) in dichloroethane (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen for one hr. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.022 g, 0.000104 mol) was added into the mixture and stirred at ambient temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen for eighteen hours. Molecular sieves (0.05 g, 3 A, 4-8 mesh) and additional formaldehyde (0.006 mL, 37% in water, 0.000082 mol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for eighteen hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by RP-HPLC (Hypersil HSC18, 8 μm, 250×21.1 mm; 5%-100% over 25 min with 0.1 M ammonium acetate, 21 mL/min) to yield 4-(3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-azetanylmethyl)-1-methyl-4-piperidinol (0.020 g, 0.000041 mol).
