Procedure

A solution of biphenyl-4-ylamine (150 mg, 0.883 mmoles) and 4-formyl-5-methyl-furan-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (157) (135 mg, 0.803 mmoles) in methanol (2.0 ml) was stirred over molecular sieves (type 3 Å) for 1 hour. Sodium cyanoborohydride (55 mg, 0.883 mmoles) was added and the mixture stirred for 18 hour at room temperature. The mixture was concentrated and partitioned between ethyl acetate (25 ml) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (30 ml). The aqueous phase was re-extracted with ethyl acetate (2×25 ml) and the combined extracts were washed with brine (50 ml) and dried (MgSO4). After removal of the solvent, the residue was purified by flash chromatography, using a gradient elution of petrol/diethyl ether 9:1 v/v to 4:1 v/v, to afford compound 158 (75 mg).
