Procedure

A solution of 3-bromo-N-cyclopropyl-4,N-dimethyl-benzamide (Intermediate 96, 5.3 g, 19.77 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was treated with borane-methyl sulfide complex (10 mL, 100 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h. It was cooled to ambient temperature and carefully treated with saturated, aqueous sodium carbonate solution till cessation of effervescence, and extracted with diethyl ether (×2). The combined organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to an oil. Flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent afforded the title product as an oil (3.2 g, 63%).
