Participants

Reaction Steps

sec-Butyllithium (1.4 M in cyclohexane, 0.59 ml, 0.824 mmol) was added to a solution of (3S,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-((S)-1-(1,1-dioxidoisothiazolidin-2-yl)butan-2-yl)-3-((6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl)piperidin-2-one (Example 420, Step C, 0.484 g, 0.785 mmol) in THF (3.92 ml) at −78° C. After 15 minutes iodomethane (0.098 ml, 1.57 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction contents were poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate (20 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×30 mL). The combined organics were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography (10% step gradient elution 30 to 90% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded the title compound as the first eluting diastereomer.
