Reaction Steps

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.23 g) was added to a mixture of 4-((1R,2S)-2-amino-1-hydroxypropyl)phenol (0.082 g), methyl 3-isopropyl-3′,5′-dimethyl-4′-(2-oxo-propoxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylate (0.17 g) and acetic acid (0.03 mL) in tetrahydrofuran (2.5 mL) at room temperature with stirring, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hrs. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:methylene chloride/methanol=9/1) followed by aminopropyl silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1) to afford methyl 4′-{(2RS)-2-[(1S,2R)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)1-methylethylamino]propoxy}-3-isopropyl-3′,5′-dimethylbiphenyl-4-carboxylate (0.074 g).
