Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-oxo-4H-quinolin-1-ylmethyl)butyl]benzaldehyde (0.05 g, 0.12 mmol), dichloroethane (3.0 mL), and acetic acid (0.09 mL, 1.46 mmol) in an ice bath was added morpholine (0.26 μL, 3.00 mmol). The solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 0.5 hours. Triacetoxy sodium borohyride (0.06 g. 0.30 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature. After 3.0 hours, the solution was partitioned between EtOAc and 3% NH4OH (3 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The product was eluted from a flash chromatography column with EtOAc/hexanes, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 1-[2-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-(3-morpholin-4-ylmethylphenyl)-2-trifluoromethylpentyl]-1H-quinolin-4-one as a colorless solid (0.03 g, 45%).
