Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 2-(1-benzyl-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-7-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)acetate (2.3 g, 5.46 mmol) in Tetrahydrofuran (THF) (30 mL) was treated with LiHMDS (8.45 mL, 8.45 mmol) at −78° C. and then stirred for 1 hour. A solution of (2R,8aS)-(+)-(Camphorsulfonyl)oxaziridine (2.421 g, 10.56 mmol) in Tetrahydrofuran (THF) (20 mL) was added, the mixture was warmed to 0° C. and then stirred for 20 minutes. The mixture was quenched with HCl (1M) and then extracted with Ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica gel (0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to afford methyl 2-(1-benzyl-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-7-oxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)-2-hydroxyacetate (3.3 g, 4.53 mmol, 82% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) ppm 7.28 (s, 9H) 7.01-7.07 (m, 1H) 5.93-5.99 (m, 1H) 5.85-5.92 (m, 1H) 5.77-5.84 (m, 1H) 5.20-5.27 (m, 1H) 3.79 (s, 3H) 3.58 (s, 3H); LCMS (m/z) ES+=437 (M+1).
