Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → (S)-tert-butyl 1-(3-fluoro-4-((3,3,4-trimethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)ethylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-tert-butyl 1-(3-fluoro-4-formylphenyl)ethylcarbamate (267 mg, 1 mmol) and 1,2,2-trimethylpiperazine dihydrochloride (402 mg, 2 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h and treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (848 mg, 4 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×mL). Combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography (MeOH/CH2Cl2 0 to 10%) provided (S)-tert-butyl 1-(3-fluoro-4-((3,3,4-trimethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)ethylcarbamate as a white solid (186 mg, 49% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.35 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (dd, J=7.9, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (dd, J=11.1, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 4.77 (s, 1H), 3.49 (s, 2H), 2.56 (br s, 4H), 2.24 (br s, 5H), 1.42 (br s, 12H), 1.04 (s, 6H); MS m/z 380.4 (M+H).
