Reaction Steps

4-{(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-quinolin-8-yl)-[1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl]-amino}-butyronitrile (840 mg, 1.75 mmol) was dissolved in NH3 saturated MeOH (15 mL), treated with Raney nickel (excess), and placed under 45 psi H2 on a Parr shaker for 16 hours. The mixture was diluted with MeOH and filtered through Celite. The cake was washed with MeOH and the combined filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH, 50:2:1) afforded the desired amine (560 mg, 66%) as an orange syrup. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ −0.10 (s, 9H), 0.81 (t, 2H, J=9.0 Hz), 1.43-1.50 (m, 4H), 1.59-1.76 (m, 1H), 1.86-2.09 (m, 2H), 2.08-2.23 (m, 1H), 2.56-2.71 (m, 4H), 2.76-2.85 (m, 2H), 2.41 (t, 2H, J=8.1 Hz), 4.07-4.12 (m, 3H), 5.71 (d, 1H, J=11.1 Hz), 7.37 (d, 1H, J=11.1 Hz), 7.05 (dd, 1H, J=7.5, 4.5 Hz), 7.21-7.29 (m, 2H), 7.34 (d, 1H, J=6.6 Hz), 7.40-7.45 (m, 1H), 7.71-7.76 (m, 1H), 8.58 (d, 1H, J=3.6 Hz).
