Reaction Steps

(±)-Cis-N-{1-[4-(2-ethyl-butylamino)-benzoyl]-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl}-N-phenyl-propionamide was prepared from (±)-cis-N-[1-(4-amino-benzoyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl]-N-phenyl-propionamide. To a solution of (±)-cis-N-[1-(4-Amino-benzoyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl]-N-phenyl-propionamide (75 mg, 0.145 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) was added 2-ethylbutyraldehyde (26 uL, 0.2 mmol) in one portion. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for a 0.5 h before a solution of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (74 mg, 0.348 mmol) 1 ml DCM was added slowly. A single drop of acetic acid was added and the reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature over night. Excess reagent was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The resulting mixture was extracted three times with 20 mL dichloromethane. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Crude product was purified by HPLC to afford the title compound (60 mg, 83%).
