Reaction Steps

A solution of acetaldehyde (0.06 mL, 1.1 mmol) and 2-acetamido-N-tert-butyl-2-(2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-3-yl)ethyl)-6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)hexanamide (0.51 g, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.63 g, 3 mmol). After stirring overnight, the reaction was quenched with 5% aq NaHCO3 (W/V) and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed successively with 1 M HCl, sat'd aq sodium chloride, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (1% methanol in chloroform) gave 2-acetamido-N-tert-butyl-2-(2-(2-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-3-yl)ethyl)-6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)hexanamide as an oil (0.45 g, 83%). ESI MS found for C31H52BN3O4 m/z [b.e.542.7 (M+1)].
