Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 21A (310 mg, 1.096 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (7 mL) was added benzaldehyde (235 mg, 2.193 mmol), followed by sodium triacetoxyborohydride (650 mg, 3.069 mmol) and AcOH (200 mg, 3.29 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 4 h, then diluted with EtOAc, washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, water, brine, dried Na2SO4) and concentrated. The resulting residue was chromatographed (silica gel) eluting with EtOAc/hexane 1:5 to give the title compound as light yellow foam (325 mg, 80%).
