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-BOC-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde (0.196 g, 0.75 mmol) in anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL) was treated with anhydrous sodium sulfate (1 g) and glacial acetic acid (30 mg, 0.5 mmol), stirred at room temperature for 3 h, then cooled to room temperature and treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (212 mg, 1.0 mmol) and stirred for 18 h. 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-4-(3-boronopropyl)-1-(((S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-3-yl)methyl)pyrrolidine-3-caboxylic acid (146 mg, 62%) as a white solid. NMR (D2O) δ 7.10-7.30 (m, 4 H), 4.39 (br s, 22 H), 3.85-4.10 (m, 3 H), 3.60-3.80 (m, 3 H), 3.20-3.50 (m, 2 H), 2.90-3.10 (m, 1 H), 2.62 (m, 1 H), 1.60 (m, 1 H), 1.15-1.30 (m, 3 H), 0.63-0.73 (m, 2 H).
