Ammonia → HCID 66886103, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of compound from step C (400 mg, 0.5 mmol), 7N ammonia in MeOH (1.0 mL) and freshly activated 4 Å molecular sieves (250 mg) in dichloromethane (20 mL) were refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, then sodium cyanoborohydride (160 mg, 2.55 mmol) was added and refluxed for additional 2 h. The reaction mixture was filtered, diluted with dichloromethane (20 mL), washed with water, brine, dried (sodium sulfate), and concentrated under reduced pressure. Chromatography on silica gel (50 to 100% acetonitrile containing 0.1% ammonium acetate/water gradient) provided (3R,4R,5S)-3,4,5-tris(benzyloxy)-2-(benzyloxymethyl)-6-(4-chloro-3-(4-ethoxybenzyl)phenyl)piperidine (136 mg, 34%).
