Reaction Steps

LiBH4 (2.85 ml, 5.71 mmol) solution (2M in THF) was added dropwise to a 0° C. solution of methyl 2-bromo-3-chloro-5-(N-(5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)benzofuran-6-yl)methylsulfonamido)benzoate (1.24 g, 1.90 mmol) in Tetrahydrofuran (THF) (13.5 ml) and Methanol (1.3 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and quenched with 1M NaOH. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated. The crude alcohol was taken up in THF (14 mL). DIEA (1.0 ml, 5.71 mmol) and MOM-Cl (0.36 ml, 4.76 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight. Sat'd NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, evaporated and purified by silica gel chromatography (0-50% EtOAc/hexanes) to obtain the title compound (1.08 g, 85%) as a white foam. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 7.86-7.93 (m, 2H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, 1H), 7.49 (s, 1H), 7.42 (d, J=2.83 Hz, 1H), 7.18-7.25 (m, 2H), 5.80 (br. s., 1H), 4.73 (s, 2H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 3.38 (s, 3H), 3.27 (s, 3H), 3.01 (d, J=4.98 Hz, 3H), 2.05-2.14 (m, 1H), 0.75-1.11 (m, 3H), 0.58 (br. s., 1H).
