N-((S)-4-Chloro-1-methoxy-2-nitro-9-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-7-yl)-acetamide (100 mg; 0.3 mmol), of Example 632f, in Methanol (10 mL) was treated with Sodium tetrahydroborate (30 mg, 0.8 mmol) neat at rt. After 15 minutes, a second portion of Sodium tetrahydroborate (30 mg, 0.8 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. After 30 minutes the reaction mixture was treated with water, then extract with Et2O followed by CH2Cl2 (2×). The aqueous phase was treated with 1N KOH and re-extracted with CH2Cl2. The organics were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give 210 mg (TW 100 mg) of whitish, crude N-((S)-4-Chloro-9-(R,S)-hydroxy-1-methoxy-2-nitro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-7-yl)-acetamide, which was used without further purification; MS (m/e) 328.97 (M+H).
