Procedure

To a solution of (2S)-2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (426 mg, 1.55 mmol) in a mixture of THF (10 mL) and MeOH (2 mL) was added sodium borohydride (181 mg, 4.8 mmol) in one portion. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes before solvents were evaporated at room temperature and the residue was columned on silica (Petrol/AcOEt, 8/2) to afford the sub-title compound as colorless oil (284 mg, 66%): 1H NMR (400 MHz CDCl3) δ 1.38-1.40 (9H, 2s), 1.57-1.60 (3H, 2d), 4.38-4.45 (1H, m), 4.65-4.76 (1H, m), 5.81-6.01 (1H, 2d), 7.33-7.64 (4H, d).
