Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (R)-2-methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine (0.1 ml, 0.1 mmol, 1M in toluene), borane-N,N-dimethyl aniline complex (0.18 ml, 1 mmol) in THF (5 ml) is added a solution of 1-{4-[1-ethyl-1-(4-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-propyl]-2-methyl-phenoxy}-3,3-dimethyl-butan-2-one (372 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (5 ml) over a period of m. The reaction is stirred at RT for 2 h and MeOH (2 ml) is added followed by 1N hydrochloric acid. The mixture is extracted with EtOAc and the organic phase is concentrated and chromatographed (Hex to 25% EtOAc/Hex) to give the title compound (305 mg, 82%).
