1.5 g of (RS)-2-(4,4-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-6-yl)-heptanol, dissolved in 25 ml of methylene chloride, were treated at 0° C. with 0.46 ml of acetaldehyde and 3.46 g of sodium triacetoxyborohydride, then 0.62 ml of acetic acid was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with the addition of one portion of 25 ml of water and then, was extracted with two portions of 25 ml of methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 25% ethyl acetate/hexanes). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 6.98 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 6.85 (dd, J=8.4, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 6.56 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 3.75-3.55 (m, 2H), 3.33 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.30-3.20 (m, 2H), 2.70-2.55 (m, 1H), 1.80-1.70 (m, 2H), 1.70-1.45 (m, 2H), 1.45-1.20 (m, 6H), 1.26 (s, 6H), 1.14 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 0.84 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 3H).
