Reaction Steps

To a solution of (5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(cyclopropylmethyl)piperidin-2-one (1481 mg, 3957 μmol; Example 35, Step A) and allyl bromide (360 μl, 4155 μmol) in THF (16 mL, 0.25 M) was added dropwise lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1M solution in THF, 4352 μl, 4352 μmol) at −78° C. After being stirred at −78° C. for 3 h, the reaction was quenched (sat. aqueous NH4Cl), extracted (2×EtOAc). The combined organic layers were washed with sat. aq. NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (SiO2, 20 to 30% EtOAc/Hex, gradient elution) provided the title compound as a mixture of stereoisomers.
