Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3,3-dimethyl-4-quinolinone (128 mg, 0.47 mmol) in methylanol (2 mL) at 0° C. was added portionwise sodium borohydride (18 mg, 0.47 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then quenched with sat'd NH4Cl (2 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (2×5 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. A solution of this crude material in ethyl acetate (3 mL) was hydrogenated under an atmosphere of hydrogen with 10% Pd/C (20 mg) and a trace of conc. H2SO4 at rt for 16 h. Filtration over Celite™ afforded 100 mg (84%) of 1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3,3-dimethylquinoline. Data for 1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3,3-dimethylquinoline:
