Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S,3S)-3-cyclopentyl-3-hydroxy-2-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanal (1.339 g, 4.7 mmol) in dry THF (20 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Acetic acid (2.5 mL, 44 mmol), methylamine (33% in EtOH, 2.5 mL, 20 mmol), and NaHB(OAc)3 (4.4937 g, 21.3 mmol) were added sequentially in single portions. The ice bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at rt. The solvent was stripped and the crude 2-((1S,2R)-1-cyclopentyl-1-hydroxy-3-(methylamino)propan-2-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione was used directly in the next step. LC-MS (3 min) tR=1.07, m/z=303 (M+1).
