Sodium borohydride → HCID 54013882, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of sodium borohydride (0.049 g, 1.30 mmol) and ethanol (5 mL) was stirred 10 min and then 1-(3-fluoro-4-triisopropylsilyloxyphenyl)-2-(4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)-propan-1-one (0.738 g, 1.30 mmol in 10 mL of ethanol) was added with a 5 mL ethanol rinse. The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The white precipitate which formed was collected by filtration to afford 0.335 g (45%) of (1R*,2R*)-1-(3-fluoro-4-triisopropylsilyloxyphenyl)-2-(4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)-propan-1-ol which had: NMR δ7.63 (s, 4 H), 7.07 (dd, J=2, 11.5 Hz, 1 H), 6.98-6.84 (m, 2 H), 5.13 (s, 1 H), 4.20 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1 H), 3.06 (sym m, 1 H), 2.81-2.71 (m, 1 H), 2.70-2.50 (m, 3 H), 2.15 (sym m, 2 H), 1.81 (distorted d, J=14 Hz, 2 H), 1.59 (s, 1 H), 1.33-1.19 (m, 3 H), 1.08 (d, J=7 Hz, 18 H), 0.81 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3 H). The product also contained about 7% of the erythro diastereomer but was suitable for use without additional purification.
