Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 3-(4-(2-(4-(5-ethoxy-6-((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)pyridin-3-yl)-2-fluorophenyl)acetamido)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (3.5 g, 5.13 mmol) in THF (200 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added LAH (0.389 g, 10.25 mmol) in portions. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. The mixture was quenched with 15% aqueous NaOH (10 mL). The mixture was dried over Na2SO4. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica column chromatography (PE/EA=8:1). All fractions found to contain product by TLC (PE/EA=2:1, Rf=0.35) were combined and concentrated to yield a light yellow oil of 2-(4-(5-ethoxy-6-((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)pyridin-3-yl)-2-fluorophenyl)-N-(4-(3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamide (3 g, 4.21 mmol, 82.0% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 7.93 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 2H), 7.71 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.47-7.31 (m, 7H), 6.90 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 5.35 (s, 2H), 4.17-4.10 (m, 2H), 3.82-3.74 (m, 5H), 3.31-3.30 (m, 2H), 2.77 (s, 2H), 1.41 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 3H), 0.82 (s, 6H); ES-LCMS m/z 635 (M−120).
