Aza-CTB derivative 11. Triamide CTB 10 (4.51 g, 3.64 mmol) was suspended in THF
(140 mL) and the mixture was stirred under an argon atmosphere. The solution was cooled
down to 0 °C with an ice bath and borane dimethyl sulfide (15 mL of a 2 M solution in THF)
was added dropwise to the suspension. The mixture was then heated to 50 °C (oil bath) for 3
hours. The remaining borane was quenched with methanol and the solvents were evaporated
under reduced pressure. Water (200 mL) and DCM (200 mL) were added to the residue. The
aqueous layer was extracted twice with dichloromethane (2 x 100 mL). The combined organic
layers were dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced
pressure. The crude was purified using column chromatography (SiO

, eluent: EtOAc -
petroleum ether (8:2)) to give rise to compound 11 (1.65 g, 38%) as a glassy product.
