Formaldehyde → HCID 9798809, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of compound 16 (0.2 g, 0.65 mmol) in DCE (10 mL) were added successively formaldehyde (35% in H2O, 0.08 mL, 0.98 mmol), Na(OAc)3BH (0.415 g, 1.95 mmol) and acetic acid (AcOH, 0.1 mL) at ice-cold conditions. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at rt for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and basified with NaOH (1N). The organic layer was separated and washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by chromatography on 230-400 mesh silica gel eluting with 5% methanol-DCM to provide compound 17.
