Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-[2-(4-[3-[4-[3-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-propynyl]benzyl]benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl]phenoxy]ethyl]pyrrolidine (Example 129, Part D; 95 mg, 0.182 mmol) in 1.5 mL of toluene was treated with DIBAL-H (455 mL, 0.455 mmol; 1 M in toluene). The resulting mixture was heated at 40° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and quenched with excess MeOH. Saturated K+Na+ tartrate solution and EtOAc (10 mL each) were added, and the biphasic mixture was vigorously stirred for 2 h. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by radial chromatography (SiO2; 98:1.5:0.5 CHCl3—MeOH—NH4OH) afforded 42 mg (0.80 mmol, 44%) of a pale yellow oil which was converted to the dioxalate salt according to the methods detailed in Example 1, Part C.
