Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (3.70 g, 20 mmol) and cis-2,6-dimethylmorpholine (2.52 g, 22 mmol) in DCE (100 mL) was added NaBH(OAc)3 (5.30 g, 25 mmol), followed by AcOH (0.5 mL). After addition, the resulting mixture was stirred O/N at rt. The reaction as quenched with sat. NaHCO3 (30 mL) and H2O (30 mL), and was extracted with DCM (30 mL×2). Concentration of the solvents afforded the crude title compound as a pale yellow liquid (6.41 g, quantitative yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.45 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 7.21 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 3.64-3.55 (m, 2H), 3.44 (s, 2H), 2.68 (d, J=11.6 Hz, 2H), 1.75 (t, J=11.0 Hz, 2H), 1.54 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 6H); MS ESI 284.0 [M+H]+, calcd for [C13H18BrNO+H]+ 284.1.
