Reaction Steps

(S)-1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid (5 g, 18.03 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) and the mixture was cooled. Boron hydride-tetrahydrofuran complex (27 ml, 1 mol/l in tetrahydrofuran) was cautiously added dropwise at 0° C. and the mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 15 h. The reaction mixture was cooled again and water (8 ml) was slowly added dropwise at 0° C. Potassium carbonate (4.21 g, 30.65 mmol) was then added and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. After phase separation the aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (2×30 ml) and the combined organic phases were washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (30 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel) with hexane/ethyl acetate 2/1.
