Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of the product from Example 153D (0.1 g, 0.4 mmol), acetic acid (0.4 mmol, 0.025 g) and pyrrolidine (0.44 mmol, 0.031 g) in dry THF (5 ml) NaBH(OAc)3 was added (0.6 mmol, 0.127 g). After 12 hr at room temperature the mixture was diluted with 50 mL of CH2Cl2 and washed successively with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, brine and water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified over silica using 10% MeOH in CH2Cl2. The desired compound was obtained in 40%. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 1.60 (m, 4H), 2.20 (m, 4H), 2.75 (m, 4H), 8.30 (m, 1H), 8.40 (m, 1H), 8.90 (m, 1H), 9.05 (m, 1H). MS (ESI) [M+H]+ at 307.
