Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of LiAlH4 (1.24 g, 32.79 mmol) in THF (80 mL) at 0° C., was added dropwise a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-(benzyl((S)-1-phenylethyl)amino)-3-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)propanoate (4.7 g, 10.93 mmol) in THF and was heated to 75° C. After 4 h, the reaction mixture was quenched with EtOAc and filtered. The filtrate was washed with excess EtOAc and dried under high vacuum to afford a residue. Purification of the residue by column chromatography (neutral Al2O3, Et2O/Pet ether 15:85) afforded the title compound.
