Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(1-hydroxy-cyclohex-2-enyl)-3-{(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-[trans-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-cyclohexyl]-amino}-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (48 mg, 0.086 mmol) in DCM (1 mL) was cooled to −50° C. Triethylsilane (43 μl, 0.27 mmol) was added followed by gradual addition of trifluoroacetic acid (total 22 μl, 0.28 mmol) (4 μl to 6 μl every 30 min). The mixture was stirred at −40° C. to −50° C. for 3.5 h. Aqueous NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was allowed to come to room temperature. It was extracted with DCM, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The crude was left at room temperature for 2 days and purified by chromatography over silica gel (hexane-EtOAc mixtures) yielding 5-(3-Hydroxy-cyclohex-1-enyl)-3-{(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-[trans-4-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-cyclohexyl]-amino}-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (22 mg, 45%).
