Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → (S)-tert-butyl 1-(3-fluoro-4-((3,3,4-trimethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)ethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-tert-butyl 1-(3-fluoro-4-formylphenyl)ethylcarbamate (267 mg, 1 mmol) and 1,2,2-trimethylpiperazine dihydrochloride (402 mg, 2 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (848 mg, 4 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×25 mL). Combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography (MeOH/CH2Cl2 0 to 10%) provided (S)-tert-butyl 1-(3-fluoro-4-((3,3,4-trimethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)ethylcarbamate as a white solid (186 mg, 49% yield).
