Reaction Steps

Aldehyde 160 (1.08 g, 3.0 mmol) was converted at 25° C. by standard procedures to amine 161, using 99:1 trimethylorthoformate:acetic acid as solvent (20 mL), 1.1 equivalents of aniline (3.3 mmol), and after 1 hour adding 1.5 equivalents (8.9 mmol) of commercial 1M sodium cyanoborohydride THF solution. Aqueous workup and silica gel chromatography (eluent: 90:10:1 ethyl acetate:hexane:ammonium hydroxide) gave amine 161 as a colorless foam (0.93 g, 70%).
