Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-8-methylquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde (5 g, 24.6 mmol) in dry THF (75 mL) was treated with titanium(IV) isopropoxide (14.5 mL, 48 mmol). After 5 minutes, (R)-(−)-2-methyl-2-propanesulfinamide (2.95 g, 24 mmol) was added in one portion and the mixture was stirred for 60 h. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. in a water/ice bath and NaBH4 (1.9 g, 48 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 3 h and cooled to 10° C. MeOH (20 mL) was added dropwise, followed by water (5 mL). The resulting slurry was filtered through Celite and washed thoroughly with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (20 mL) and HCl (4M in 1,4-dioxane; 30 mL). The mixture was stirred for 2 h and, after removing the solvent in vacuo, the residue was dissolved in DCM. The organic layer was washed with sat. NaHCO3 solution, water and brine, then dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was redissolved in MeOH and passed through an SCX cartridge, eluting with 0-0.1M MeOH/NH3 in MeOH. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue purified by column chromatography on silica, eluting with 0-5% MeOH in EtOAc, to afford the title compound (3 g, 60%). δH (DMSO-d6) 8.50 (1H, s), 7.89 (1H, d, J=8.1 Hz), 7.67 (1H, d, J=7.0 Hz), 7.57 (1H, t, J=7.6 Hz), 4.00 (2H, s), 2.70 (3H, s).
