Boron trifluoride → {7-chloro-6-[(2R,6S)-2,6-dimethylmorpholin-4-yl]-3-methyl-1,2-benzoxazol-5-yl}methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of NaBH4 (78 mg, 2.43 mmol) in diglyme (1 mL) was added BF3 (1.6 mL, 2.59 mmol), and the thus generated diborane gas was purged into solution of 7-chloro-6-[(2R,6S)-2,6-dimethylmorpholin-4-yl]-3-methyl-1,2-benzoxazole-5-carboxylic acid (Intermediate 302, 250 mg, 0.8 mmol) in THF (1 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes before being quenched with methanol (1 mL) and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give product as solid. Yield: 130 mg (52%).
