Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S)-methyl 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-3-methyl-2-oxopiperidin-1-yl)butanoate prepared above in Step B (734 mg, 1.34 mmol) in ether (12.2 mL) was added lithium borohydride (58.3 mg, 2.68 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 dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure provided the title compound as a colorless film. The product was used in the next step without further purification.
