Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.45 g (3.14 mmol) of tert-butyl (2S)-2-((2S,3R)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-oxo-1-piperidinyl)butanoate (Example 1, Step F) and allyl bromide (0.326 mL, 3.76 mmol) in 12.5 mL of THF was added dropwise at −78° C. 3.3 mL of a 1 M solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)-amide in THF (3.3 mmol). After being stirred at −78° C. for 3 h, the reaction was quenched with sat. aqueous NH4Cl solution, extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (50 g SiO2, eluent: 5 to 20% EtOAc/hexanes, gradient elution) provided tert-butyl (2S)-2-((3R,5R,6S)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)butanoate as the faster eluting major isomer.
