Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3′-({[(1,1-dimethylethyl)(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-2-fluoro-3-biphenylcarboxamide (3.8 g, 10.6 mmol) in THF (40 mL) which was cooled to 0° C., BH3Me2S (14.0 mL, 21.2 mmol) was added dropwise. Then the reaction was stirred at 50° C. overnight. The reaction was quenched by adding HCl (10 mL, 3 N) and the result mixture was stirred for 2 h before THF was removed under vacuum. The aqueous layer was extracted with AcOEt (30 mL) then the pH was adjusted to around 9.0 by adding Na2CO3. The aqueous layer was extracted with AcOEt (50 mL×2), and dried over Na2SO4. After the solvent was removed, the crude product was purified on Al2O3 column chromatography, eluting with CH2Cl2/EA (10:1). 0.83 g of the product, [3′-(aminomethyl)-2′-fluoro-3-biphenylyl]methanol, was obtained (yield: 33%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO): δ 3.80 (s, 2 H), 4.56 (s, 2 H), 7.23-7.51 (m, 7 H); 13C NMR (400 MHz, DMSO): δ 62.8, 124.3, 125.8, 126.9, 127.2, 128.0, 128.1, 128.3, 128.4, 128.6, 131.6, 131.8, 135.6, 142.9, 155.6, 158.1; HPLC: retention time: 4.053 min; purity: 98.6% (HPLC).
