Reaction Steps

To a solution of crude 2-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluorophenyl)-2-((trimethylsilyl)oxy)acetaldehyde (0.258 g, 0.874 mmol) in MeCN (9 ml) was added (1-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl)methanamine (0.122 g, 0.874 mmol) followed by AcOH (0.050 ml, 0.874 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Then NaBH(OAc)3 (0.370 g, 1.748 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 23 h. Then it was quenched by adding saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and stirred for 30 min. It was extracted with DCM (2×5 mL). The combined organic layer washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a yellow oil. The yellow oil was dissolved in 2 mL of THF. Then TBAF, 1.0 M solution in THF (0.874 ml, 0.874 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. It was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluent: 0% to 50% EtOAc/heptane) to provide 1-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluorophenyl)-2-(((1-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl)methyl)amino)ethanol (116 mg, 0.335 mmol, 38.3% yield) as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.25-7.31 (m, 1H), 7.06 (dd, J=8.9, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 5.45 (dd, J=9.7, 4.5 Hz, 1H), 3.45 (br. s., 1H), 3.28 (dd, J=12.6, 9.8 Hz, 1H), 2.89-2.92 (m, 3H), 0.99-1.04 (m, 2H), 0.69-0.76 (m, 2H); LCMS: 346.0 [M+H]+.
