Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of (3R,4S)-3-acetamido-N-tert-butyl-4-(3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)propyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxamide (Example 8, step 4) (198 mg, 0.5 mmol) and N-benzyl-N—BOC-glycinaldehyde (0.187 g, 0.75 mmol) in anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, then cooled by ice bath and treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (212 mg, 1.0 mmol) and stirred for 3 h at room temperature. Aqueous sodium carbonate (10%, 5 mL) was added and the mixture stirred for a few minutes and extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL, then 2×10 mL). The combined organic solution was washed with water and brine (20 mL each), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was deprotected and isolated using the method described for example 8, step 5 to afford (3R,4S)-3-amino-1-(2-(benzylamino)ethyl)-4-(3-boronopropyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (112 mg, 49%) as a white solid. NMR (D2O) δ 7.30-7.45 (m, 5 H), 4.21 (s, 2 H), 3.94 (d, 1H, J=12 Hz, 1 H), 3.84 (t, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 3.60-3.75 (m, 3 H), 3.30-3.50 (m, 3 H), 2.50-2.65 (m, 1 H), 1.50-1.65 (m, 1 H), 1.10-1.35 (m, 3 H), 0.63-0.73 (m, 2 H). MS (m+1): 350.4; MS (m−H2O+1): 332.1.
