Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of L-valine methyl ester hydrochloride (0.54 g, 3.24 mmol) in dry toluene (15 mL) at 80° C. was added DIEA (2.0 mL 11 mmol) followed by (6-bromo-2-pyridyl)formaldehyde (0.50 g, 2.70 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 h. The reaction was brought to RT and a solution of NaBH(OAc)3 (1.4 g, 6.75 mmol) in glacial AcOH (4 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 15 h and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The resulting yellow oil was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (100 mL), washed with a saturated solution of NaHCO3 (aq) (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated by rotary evaporation and purified by flash chromatography (2:1 hexanes/EtOAc) to afford the title compound as a pale-yellow oil. EI-MS m/z 301 (M+H).
