Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Methylethyl[(2S,4R)-1-acetyl-6-(4-formylphenyl)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinyl]carbamate (for a preparation see Intermediate 36) (100 mg, 0.254 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (3 mL) and 2M methylamine in THF (0.254 mL, 0.507 mmol) was added. The yellow solution was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 135 minutes at which point sodium borohydride (15.35 mg, 0.406 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred for 1 h then left sitting overnight. The reaction was quenched with sat. aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1 mL) and EtOAc (8 mL) was added. A white solid was filtered off (bond elut reservoir) and found to be the desired product (34 mg). The filtrate was partitioned and the organic layer dried. Concentration of the organic layer gave 67 mg of a colourless residue which was applied to a silica 12+S Biotage column and purified eluting with a gradient of 1-5% methanolic ammonia in DCM. Concentration of the product containing fractions gave another batch of the desired product (52 mg).
