Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 160 mg (0.36 mmol) of 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(pentan-3-yl)piperidin-3-yl)acetaldehyde (Example 79, Step A) and 20.4 mg (0.11 mmol) of tin(II) chloride in DCM (6 mL) was added 104 μL (1.00 mmol) of ethyl diazoacetate via syringe over 3 min. The resulting yellow slurry was stirred at room temperature for 14.25 h, then was quenched with 1 N HCl and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with 1 N HCl (1×), then were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification of the residue by reversed phase prep. HPLC (Sunfire™ Prep C18 OBD 10 μm column (Waters, Milford, Mass.), gradient elution of 55% MeCN in water to 85% MeCN in water over a 30 min period, where both solvents contain 0.1% TFA) provided the title compound as a light yellow oil.
