Sodium borohydride → 5-(benzyloxy)-8-({benzyl[6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexyl]amino}acetyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(benzyloxy)-8-(dihydroxyacetyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DE 3134590 A1) (150 mg) in dry DCM (2 ml) was treated with acetic acid and N-benzyl-6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexan-1-amine (320 mg) (Tetrahedron Letters. 1994, 35, 9375) and stirred for 4 hr. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (216 mg) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 3 days. Sodium borohydride (35 mg) in methanol (2 ml) was added and stirring continued for a further 2 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and partitioned between water and DCM. The organic phase was dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (Hexane-EtOAc, SPE) to give the title compound as a mixture with 5-(benzyloxy)-8-({benzyl[6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexyl]amino}acetyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (81.6 mg).
