Reaction Steps

5-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-3-methyl-isoxazole-4-carbaldehyde (0.150 g, 0.56 mmol) and N-methyl-phenethyl-amine (0.10 mL, 0.67 mmol) were combined in MeOH and stirred at room temperature overnight. Once no starting material was seen by analytical LCMS, sodium borohydride (0.064 g, 1.69 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. H2O was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound.
