Reaction Steps

5-[2-(2,3-Dichloro-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-propyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyridin-2-one (Example 197, step 5; 198 mg, 0.50 mmol) and 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (0.23 mL, 1.5 mmol), were dissolved in 1 ml dimethylacetamide and treated with 60 mg NaOH (finely powdered). After 3 h stirring at rt 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (0.11 mL, 0.75 mmol) was added, followed by 30 mg NaOH (finely powdered). After 19 h stirring at rt, the reaction mixture was poured on ice-water (10 mL) and the pH adjusted to 3 with aqueous 2N HCl. The reaction mixture was then extracted twice with ethyl acetate, the combined organic phases washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered-off and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (8 g SiO2, EtOAc/heptane 2:1) to give 118 mg of the title compound as colorless viscous oil. MS (M+H+)=510.2
