Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-ethyl 2-((3R,5R,6S)-3-(2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)butanoate (1.94 g, 3.54 mmol, Example 21, Step A) in Et2O (35.4 mL) was added 90% lithium borohydride (0.154 g, 7.07 mmol) at 0° C. After being stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, the reaction was quenched (ice cold 10% citric acid), extracted (2×EtOAc) and washed (sat. aq. NaCl solution). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (50% to 100% EtOAc/Hexanes, gradient elution) provided the title compound.
