Economic syntheses of sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate, acknowledged as the first dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, have been achieved in an overall yield of 42.4% in four steps from 1-3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl}-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butane-1,3-dione. The key stereoselective reduction of this process was carried out by NaBH4/HCOOH instead of expensive and toxic catalysts or ligands. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
