Reaction Steps

70 mg (1.8 mmol) of NaBH4 were added in portions at 0° C. to a solution of 350 mg (0.9 mmol) of N-(3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-butyl)-2-[3-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-propylsulfanyl]-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide (exemplary compound 125) in EtOH (7 ml). Stirring was then carried out for 2 h at RT. The mixture was then cooled to 0° C., quenched with a sat. aq. NH4Cl sol. (20 ml) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in EA and the solution was washed with a 1M aq. NaHCO3 sol., water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. CC (hexane/EA 3:2) of the residue yielded 320 mg (0.82 mmol, 91%) of 2-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propylsulfanyl]-N-(2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-butyl)-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid amide. MS: m/z 391.2 [M+H]+.
