Reaction Steps

From the imine 108d (5.6 g, 17.8 mmol) and NaBH4 (3.4 g, 88 mmol), a similar procedure as described for 109a gave 109d (4.6 g, 81.9%) as white crystals: mp 76°-8° C. after recrystallization from ethanol. 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ6.78 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 6.62 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 6.61 (s, 2H), 4.21 (s, 2H), 3.96 (q, J=6 Hz, 2 Hz), 3.84 (s, 9H), 1.37 (t, J=6 Hz, 3H). CIMS (isobutane) m/e 318 (MH+, 27).
