Participants

Reaction Steps

A 10-mL, one-neck, round bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was purged with nitrogen; and then charged with the compound 104 (100 mg, 0.24 mmol) and 1,2-dichloroethane (2 mL). Acetaldehyde (42 mg, 0.85 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (400 mg, 1.90 mmol) were subsequently added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 h at ambient temperature, evaporated to dryness, and the resulting residue was dissolved in methanol (20 mL). This methanolic solution was treated with 10% palladium on carbon (5 mg, 50% wet), stirred for 30 min, evaporated to dryness, and partitioned between 10% aqueous potassium carbonate (20 mL) and methylene chloride (20 mL). The organic layer was separated and dried over sodium sulfate. Filtration of the organic layer followed by concentration gave the compound 105 as a yellow oil, which was used without any further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.51-7.63 (m, 5H), 7.41 (d, 1H, J=7.4 Hz), 7.29 (d, 1H, J=7.15 Hz), 7.22 (d, 1H, J=7.1 Hz), 6.10 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 4.38-4.52 (m, 1H), 2.81 (s, 3H), 2.32-2.50 (m, 4H), 2.08-2.27 (m, 2H), 1.47-1.73 (m, 4H), 1.42 (s, 9H, 1.25-1.38 (m, 1H), 0.96 (t, 6H, J=7.2 Hz); ESI-MS m/z=479 (MH+).
