Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl((1R,5S,6R)-5-(5-amino-2-fluorophenyl)-5-(difluoromethyl)-2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-en-3-yl)carbamate (16i-B, 0.072 g, 0.194 mmol) and 5-chloropicolinaldehyde (0.028 g, 0.198 mmol) in DCE (1 mL) at RT was added HOAc (0.011 ml, 0.194 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.050 g, 0.236 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 1.5 h. Trifluoroacetic acid (2.0 ml, 26.9 mmol) was added and after 15 min, and the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and water. The pH was adjusted to 9 with 10 M NaOH. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (60% to 100% EtOAc in heptane) to give the title compound (0.064 g, 0.161 mmol, 83% yield) as a white solid.
