Acetic Acid → (3-Chloro-5-diethylaminomethyl-2-fluoro-benzyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (3-chloro-2-fluoro-5-formyl-benzyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg, 0.7 mmol), diethylamine (51 mg, 0.7 mmol) and acetic acid (0.06 mL) in THF (mL) was stirred for 30 min at ambient temperature. After addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (368 mg, 1.7 mmol) the reaction was stirred overnight, quenched by addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by RP-preparative HPLC (Waters Sunfire, C18-ODB, 5 μm, 30×100 mm, 5-100% CH3CN/H2O/20 min, 100% CH3CN/2 min, CH3CN and H2O containing 0.1% TFA, flow: 40 mL/min) to give the title compound. MS (LC-MS): 345.0 [M]+; tR (HPLC conditions c): 4.09 min.
