Reaktionsschritte

After dissolving N-{1-(1H-benzotriazolyl)methyl}-4-benzyloxy-2-fluoroaniline (14.13 g, 40.56 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (200 ml), methanol (150 ml) and ethanol (50 ml), there was added sodium borohydride (3.06 g, 81.12 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours at room temperature. There was further added sodium borohydride (0.78 g, 20.28 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 13.5 hours at room temperature. Water was added to the reaction solution, extraction was performed with ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran, the extract was washed with saturated saline and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was adsorbed onto silica gel and purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate system) to obtain the title compound (5.98 g, 26.31 mmol, 64.87%) as light yellow crystals.
