Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate (6.36 g, 17.07 mmol) and (S)-tert-butyl 2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (Intermediate 78, 6.07 g, 17.07 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) at 0° C., sodium tetrahydroborate (0.646 g, 17.07 mmol) was added as a solid. The mixture was stirred at ambient temp for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated and diluted with NH4Cl(aq), H2O and extracted with ether. The ether layer was separated and washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the desired product (5.48 g, 90%) as a yellow oil.
