Reaction Steps

In a 15-mL RB flask, N-((1S,2R)-1-((3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-3-(((4′S)-6′-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3′,4′-dihydrospiro[cyclobutane-1,2′-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin]-4′-yl)amino)-2-hydroxypropyl)acetamide (0.027 g, 0.048 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (1.5 mL). Trimethyl orthoformate (0.13 ml, 1.2 mmol) was added, followed by addition of Formaldehyde (37%, 0.0089 ml, 0.12 mmol) as an aqueous solution. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h. Then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.036 g, 0.17 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with 10% aqueous sodium carbonate (5 mL), stirred vigorously for 2 h, and diluted with DCM (60 mL). The organic layer was separated and extracted with dilute brine (5 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by passing it through silica gel (20 g; deactivated with triethylamine (2.0 mL)), eluting with 95% EtOAc-hexane to provide the title compound. MS m/z 576/578 (M+1).
