Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 1-cyclopentyl N-[2-(2-{[2,4-bis(benzyloxy)-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl]carbonyl}-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-5-yl)ethyl]-L-leucinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Intermediate F (0.165 g, 0.32 mmol) in dichloroethane (10 mL) was added L-leucine cyclopentyl ester tosylate (0.197 g, 0.52 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.151 g, 0.71 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 90 minutes, then quenched by addition of saturated ammonium chloride (20 mL). The product was extracted with dichloromethane (3 times 100 mL) and the combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, ethyl acetate) to yield the desired product (0.089 g, 53% yield). LC/MS: m/z 701.25 [M+H]+
