Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 1 mol/l borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (4.6 ml) was added dropwise to a tetrahydrofuran solution (10 ml) of 4-(R)-[1-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-1-phenylmethyl]-1-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]-2-pyrrolidone [F1] (600 mg, 1.52 mmol) under ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 13 hours. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, 80% water-containing ethanol (15 ml) and triethylamine (3 ml) were added to the residue and the mixture was heated under reflux for 5 hours. After cooling on standing, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and chloroform (30 ml) was added to the residue. The solution was washed with water (10 ml) and saturated saline (10 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography. Elution with chloroform/methanol (20/1) afforded the title compound (510 mg, 88%) as colorless crystals.
