Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-fluoro-4-piperidinylacetate (230 mg, 1.22 mmol) and 2-(N-tert-butoxy carbonyl-N-methylamino)acetaldehyde (211 mg, 1.22 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added NaBH(OAc)3 (386 mg, 1.82 mmol) and acetic acid (70.0 mL, 1.22 mmol) at room temperature After being stirred for 24 hr, the reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of sat. NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EtOAc. The extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2CO3, and concentrated to dryness. Chromatography of the residue with CHCl3-MeOH (6:1, v/v) as eluent gave ethyl 3-fluoro-1-[2-(N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N-methylamino)ethyl]-4-piperidinylacetate (236 mg, 56%) as a reddish oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.25 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.53 1.79 (m, 2H), 1.90–2.09 (m, 2H), 2.15 (dd, J=16.4, 7.1 Hz, 1H), 2.45–2.58 (m, 2H), 2.87 (s, 3H), 2.90–2.99 (m, 2H), 3.20 (m, 1H), 3.24–3.45 (m, 2H), 4.14 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 4.61, 4.73 (each broad s, 1H); ESI-MS m/z 347.
