Participants

Reaction Steps

To 74 mg (0.37 mmol) 6-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline and 70 mg (0.37 mmol) N-(1-(4-Formylphenyl)ethyl)acetamide (example I) in 2 mL THF are added 63 μl (1.1 mmol) AcOH and the reaction mixture is stirred at r.t. for 10 min. The resulting mixture is cooled to 0° C., 117 mg (0.551 mmol) sodium triacetoxyborohydride are added and the reaction mixture is stirred at r.t. for 2 h. After that time, the reaction is quenched by the addition of 200 μL water and purified by HPLC.
