Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 3 (103 mg, 0.3 mmol) and benzaldehyde (30.7 mg, 0.3 mmol) in methanol (1 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (76.3 mg, 0.36 mmol) was then added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 3 hours before being diluted with ethyl acetate and sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The aqueous layer was separated and re-extracted with additional ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers was then washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane/methanol/0.880 ammonia solution (20:1:0.1) to give the title compound (22 mg, 17%) as a pale yellow solid; MS(ES+) m/e 433/435 [M+H]+.
