Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. mixture of N-(4-{1-[4-(3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-butoxy)-3-methyl-phenyl]-1-ethyl-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-N-methyl-methanesulfonamide (100 mg, 0.21 mmol), MeOH (5 mL), and THF (10 mL) is added NaBH4 (12 mg, 0.32 mmol). The reaction is warmed to RT and stirred for 5 h and concentrated. The residue is partitioned between EtOAc and 0.2 N HCl. The organic phase is Na2SO4 dried, concentrated, and chromatographed (0% to 25% EtOAc/Hex) to give the title compound (60 mg, 60%).
