Sodium Bicarbonate → methyl 4-[[(1S,4S)-5-[[4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)phenyl]methyl]-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]methyl]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoropropoxy)benzaldehyde (250 mg, 1.06 mmol) and methyl 4-[[(1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]methyl]benzoate (260.7 mg, 1.06 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (5.9 mL). After 15 min, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (448.7 mg, 2.12 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Then, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added. The mixture was stirred for 30 min and then extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography gave 177 mg of methyl 4-[[(1S,4S)-5-[[4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)phenyl]methyl]-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]methyl]benzoate; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.98 (d, 2H), 7.43 (d, 2H), 7.31 (d, 2H), 6.87 (d, 2H), 6.07 (tt, 1H), 4.33 (tt, 2H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.81 (d, 1H), 3.76 (d, 1H), 3.71 (d, 1H), 3.64 (d, 1H), 3.28 (br s, 2H), 2.84 (d, 2H), 2.65 (dd, 2H), 1.74 (s, 2H) ppm.
