Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.066 g, 0.31 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-[3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]piperazine (60.0 mg, 0.208 mmol, from Boron Molecular) and 11.0 M aqueous formaldehyde (0.057 mL, 0.62 mmol) in methylene chloride (0.8 mL, 10 mmol) and then the reaction was stirred at r.t. for 1 hour. The mixture was diluted with methylene chloride, washed with saturated NaHCO3, water, brine, then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to provide the product which was used in the next step. LCMS calculated for C17H28BN2O2 (M+H)+: m/z=303.2. Found 303.2.
