Reaction Steps
To a solution of 2-{4-[(R)-3-(2,4-dimethyl-phenoxy)-2-hydroxy-propylamino]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridin-3-yl}-6-piperidin-4-yl-6,7-dihydro-3H-1,3,6-triaza-s-indacen-5-one (27.1 mg, 0.05 mmol) and propionaldehyde (150 μL) in a mixed solvent of CH3CN (6 mL) and H2O (2 mL) was added HOAc (500 μL) at 0° C. and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min and followed by addition of Na(OAc)3BH (254 mg, 1.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and at the room temperature for 1 h and then evaporated. Chromatography of the residue with CH2Cl2/MeOH/28% aqueous NH4OH (490:10:1) afforded the title compound (16.5 mg, 57%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 0.87 (t, J=6 Hz, 3H, CH3), 1.45 (m, 2H), 1.70 (m, 2H), 1.80 (m, 2H), 2.04 (m, 2H), 2.19 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.22 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.97 (m, 2H), 3.55 (m, 1H), 3.70 (m, 1H), 3.95-4.06 (3H), 4.11 (m, 1H), 4.42 (s, 1H), 4.47 (s, 1H), 5.47 (d, J=3 Hz, 0.5H, NH), 5.52 (d, J=3 Hz, 0.5H, NH), 6.22 (m, 1H), 6.81 (m, 1H), 6.89-6.99 (2H), 7.32-7.38 (1.5H), 7.68 (s, 0.5H), 7.80 (s, 0.5H), 7.94 (s, 0.5H), 11.15 (d, J=6 Hz, 1H, NH), 11.21 (br d, J=6 Hz, 1H, NH); ESI-MS m/z 585.5 (MH+).
