A solution of methyl 2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-5-carboxylate HCl salt 55a (88.6 mg, 0.42 mmol), and benzaldehyde 23a (0.060 mL, 0.55 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (159 mg, 0.75 mmol) was added to the mixture and stirring was continued for 2 h. Water was added to the resulting mixture at 0° C., and pH of the solution was adjusted to ˜8 with 1N aqueous NaOH. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 and the organic layer was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solution was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 10-25% EtOAc/Heptanes) to give 55e (81.3 mg). MS m/z (M+H+) 268.0.
