Reaction Steps

To a solution of 79 mg (0.184 mmol) of (SR)-2-((3SR,5RS,6SR)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)butanal (racemate of Example 19, Step A) and 4-methoxybenzylamine (35.7 μL, 0.275 mmol) in 1.8 mL of dichloroethane was added sodium triacetoxyborohydrate (117 mg, 0.551 mmol) at 0° C. in several portions. After being stirred at 25° C. for 18 h, the reaction was quenched by adding ice-cold saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted (2×DCM) and the combined organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography on silica (0% to 3% MeOH/DCM with 1% aq. NH4OH) provided the title compound as a yellow film.
