Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound of Example 606 (10.0 g, 23.38 mmol) was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) and cooled in an ice-bath. Borane dimethyl sulfide (29.9 mL, 2.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 59.7 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux overnight and then cooled in an ice-bath. Additional borane dimethyl sulfide (5.85 mL, 2.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 11.7 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux overnight and the cooled to room temperature. The flask was fitted with a distillation head and the reaction was partially concentrated. Additional borane dimethyl sulfide (5.85 mL, 2.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 11.7 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated to reflux overnight and the cooled in an ice-bath. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 1.0 N HCl (75.0 mL) then partially concentrated. The aqueous layer was made alkaline with 2.5 N NaOH and a precipitate developed. The solid was collected by filtration washing with diethyl ether to give a pale purple solid (3.00 g, 32%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.64 (app q, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (app dt, J=2.4, 9.9 Hz, 1H), 7.14 (app dt, J=1.9, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 2H), 6.61 (s, 1H), 5.27 (s, 4H), 3.90 (s, 2H), 2.29 (s, 3H).
