To a mixture of 3-ethynylbenzaldehyde (650 mg, 5 mmol) and morpholine (0.87 mL, 10 mmol) in DCE (15 mL) was added NaBH(OAc)3 (1.325 g, 6.25 mmol), followed by AcOH (0.2 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h at rt. Aqueous workup followed by extraction with EtOAc gave crude 4-(3-ethynylbenzyl)morpholine (0.98 g) as a light brown oil. The title compound (1.75 g, quantitative yield over 2 steps) was obtained as a light brown oil using the method (PhCH3=12 mL, 1 mol % HRuCl(CO)(PPh3)3, 50° C., 2 h) for the preparation of Example A42A. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.47 (s, 1H), 7.46-7.37 (m, 2H), 7.35-7.27 (m, 2H), 6.19 (d, J=18.4 Hz, 1H), 3.78-3.68 (m, 4H), 3.52 (s, 2H), 2.52-2.42 (m, 4H), 1.32 (s, 12H); MS ESI 330.1 [M+H]+, calcd for [C19H28BNO3+H]+ 330.2.
