Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3S,5S,6R,8S)-8-allyl-3-(tert-butyl)-6-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-methyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydrooxazolo[3,2-a]pyridin-4-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate (290 mg, 0.478 mmol; Example 363, Step B) in 1,2-dichloroethane (4.78 mL) was added 5 mL of sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution. The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. for 3 d. The reaction mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification by column chromatography using 25-35% ethyl acetate in hexanes on a 4 g silica gel column afforded the title compound.
