Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution, 0° C., of 1-(7-((4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)quinolin-3-yl)ethanone (Example 42, 53 mg, 0.18 mmol) in THF was added NaBH4 (8 mg, 0.24 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour. A further portion of NaBH4 (20 mg, 0.59 mmol) was added and stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. LiBH4 (50 mg, 2.30 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 15 minutes before being quenched with sat. NH4Cl (aq.) solution. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and concentrated under reduced pressure onto silica. Purification (FCC, SiO2, 0-5%, MeOH/DCM) afforded the title compound as a white solid (20 mg, 38%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.85 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.10 (s, 1H), 7.73 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 7.53-7.43 (m, 3H), 7.31-7.26 (m, 1H), 7.09 (t, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 5.17 (s, 2H), 5.12 (q, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 1.62 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3H). [M+H]=298.3.
