Lithium borohydride → [(S)-1-(2-Hydroxy-1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylcarbamoyl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of ((S)-2-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-propionylamino)-pyridin-2-yl-acetic acid methyl ester (1.12 g, 3.32 mmol) in 15 mL of THF was added LiBH4 (2 M in THF, 1.66 mL, 3.32 mmol) drop wise and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was carefully quenched by water, neutralized with 0.1 N HCl aq., extracted with EtOAc, washed with aq. NaHCO3 and Brine. Dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford [(S)-1-(2-Hydroxy-1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylcarbamoyl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (770 mg, 77%) as a white foam, m/z 310.60 [M+1]+
