Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5-formylthiophen-2-ylboronic acid 185 (1.096 g, 7.03 mmol) in isopropanol (10 mL), stirred at 0° C., was treated with solid sodium borohydride (0.336 g, 8.88 mmol) added portion-wise at 0° C. then stirred for 75 min. The reaction was quenched with acetone and concentrated to give compound 186 (used directly in Step 2).
