Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (2.9 mL, 50.7 mmol), (4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (4.32 g, 20.2 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (7.56 g, 35.7 mmol) were added to a solution of (S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-quinolin-8-ylamine (2.86 g, 19.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (78 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 3.5 h. The mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (500 mL) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (600 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride (2×150 mL). The combine organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude mixture of isomers was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with methanol/methylene chloride (4:96) to afford the trans-isomer [4-((5)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-quinolin-8-ylamino)-trans-cyclohexyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid (2.01 g, 30%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.06-1.39 (m, 4H), 1.69 (s, 9H) 1.65-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.90-2.14 (m, 5H), 2.16-2.25 (m, 1H), 2.29 (bs, 1H), 2.56-2.71 (m, 1H), 2.72-2.88 (m, 2H), 3.43 (bs, 1H), 3.92 (t, 1H, J=6.3 Hz), 4.39 (bs, 1H), 7.04 (dd, 1H, J=7.9, 4.5 Hz), 7.35 (d, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 8.38 (d, 1H, J=4.5 Hz).
