Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 250 mg (0.578 mmol) of 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(cyclopropylmethyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)acetic acid (Example 35) in MeOH (3 mL) was added thionyl chloride (78.0 μl, 1070 μmol) dropwise at 0° C. After being stirred at 25° C. for 14 h, the reaction was diluted (EtOAc), basified (sat NaHCO3), 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 to provide the title compound as a colorless liquid.
