Reaction Steps

A suspension of carbaldehyde 325 (0.50 g, 1.3 mmol), amine 326 (0.30 g, 2.5 mmol) and acetic acid (0.14 ml, 2.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. Then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.80 g, 3.8 mmol) was added and stirred at r.t. for 16 h. A further amount of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.0 g) was then added, and stirring continued for 2 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and 1N NaOH. The yellow suspension was removed by filtration and rinsed with dichloromethane and 1N NaOH. The organic extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified via Biotage (linear gradient 0-20%, methanol/dichloromethane; Snap 100 g column) to yield 327 (280 mg, 0.562 mmol, 44%) as a yellow solid. LRMS (M+H): 499.4
