Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Intermediate 85c (3.37 g, 13.5 mmol) and formaldehyde (37% aqueous, 4.38 mL, 54.1 mmol) in DCM (140 mL) was stirred at RT for 30 min, then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (5.74 g, 27.1 mmol) was added. This mixture was stirred at RT for 18 h then washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by FCC, using 0-10% [2M NH3 in MeOH] in DCM, to give the title compound as a clear oil (2.59 g, 72%). LCMS (Method 4): Rt 1.85 min, m/z 263 [MH+].
