Procedure

Alternatively, to a solution of 1-cyclohexyl-3-[(S)-(6-methoxy-4-quinolyl)-[(1S,2S,5S)-5-vinylquinuclidin-2-yl]methyl]thiourea (10 mg, prepared according to the literature: Journal of Organic Chemistry 2008, 3475) and nitromethane (0.6 ml) under argon, was added 4-[(E)-3-(3,5-Dichloro-phenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-but-2-enoyl]-2-methyl-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester (100 mg). The solution was heated for 8 days at 50° C. then allowed to stand at room temperature for 14 days. Water was then added and the resulting mixture was extracted with diethyl ether and the combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (0% to 5% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane) to afford 4-[(R)-3-(3,5-Dichloro-phenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-nitromethyl-butyryl]-2-methyl-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester (28 mg). Chiral HPLC analysis (Chiralpack IA, Heptane:2-propanol=90:10, 1 ml/min, retention time 6.06 minutes (major enantiomer), 7.19 minutes (minor enantiomer) indicated that the reaction proceeded with 89% enantioselectivity in favor of the R enantiomer.
