Procedure

To a solution of a 1:1 mixture of methyl N-{(4-bromophenyl)[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]methylene}leucinate and (4-bromophenyl)[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]methanone from step 1 (185 mg, ˜0.2 mmol) in acetic acid/methanol (1:3, 4 mL) was added sodium borohydride (−400 mg) by portions every 30 min over 2 days (addition was stopped during the night) using a solid addition funnel. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water, the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The resulting mixture was purified by chromatography using EtOAc and hexane as eluant. Methyl N-{(4-bromophenyl)[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]methyl}-L-leucinate was obtained as a colorless gum and (4-bromophenyl)[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]methanol was obtained as a white solid.
