Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzylamine (1.06 ml, 9.70 mmol) and acetic acid (0.56 ml, 9.70 mmol) were added to a dichloromethane (50 ml) solution of the compound (1.70 g, 4.85 mmol) obtained in Step 3 above, the resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes under ice cooling and then sodium cyanoborohydride (610 mg, 9.70 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. After stirring at room temperature for 24 hours, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography [chloroform:methanol=40:1 (v/v)] to give 1.27 g (60%) of the title compound as an oil.
