Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 60 mg of α-(R)-(3-(R)-formyl-4-(S)-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl)-cyclohexaneacetic acid, 4-methoxy-benzyl ester (prepared above as Aldehyde 5) and 70 mg of 1-piperidin-4-yl-1-H-benzoimidazole (from Step C) in 4 mL THF and 1 mL of DMF was added 1 spatula tip of 4Å molecular sieves. After stirring at room temperature for 10 minutes, 80 mg sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added. Continued to stir at room temperature for another 10 hours. The reaction was concentrated and diluted with 20 ml of EtOAc and washed with 10 mL saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution. After separating layers, the aqueous phas was extracted with 2×10 mL EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with 8 mL of brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 100% EtOAc, then 90% EtOAc in CH3OH to give 40 mg of the title compound as an oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ1.17-3.73 (m, 31H), 4.07 (m, 1H), 5.10(d, J=2.1 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (d, J=8.5, 2H), 7.16-7.36 (m, 10H), 7.78(m, 1H), 7.93(s. 1H). ESI-MS 621 (M+H); HPLC A: 2.96 min.
