Procedure

Sodium methoxide (1M in methanol, 0.23 ml) was added to a solution of compound 5 (15.8 mg, 0.046 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) followed by the addition of paraformaldehyde (6.6 mg, 0.23 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1.5 hour then cooled to 0° C. with an ice bath. Sodium borohydride (10.4 mg, 0.27 mmol) was added with caution. The mixture was refluxed again for 1 hour and cooled down. Dichloromethane and water was added. Organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by PTLC (3% MeOH in DCM as developing solvent) to give product 6 (12 mg, Yield: 73%): 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ.8.14 (1H, d, J=2.2 Hz), 7.76 (1H, d, d, J=8.6 Hz, J2=2.4 Hz), 7.35 (2H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 6.92 (1H, d, J=16.4 Hz), 6.80 (1H, d, J=16.4 Hz), 6.76 (2H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 4.53 (2H, d, t, J1=47.6 Hz, J2=4.2 Hz), 4.49 (2H, t, J=4.8 Hz), 3.85 (3H, m), 3.70 (5H, m), 2.88 (3H, s). HRMS (EI) m/z calcd. for [C20H25FN2O3]+ 360.1849.
