Reaction Steps

At 0° C., 174 mg (410 μmol) of 1,1-dihydro-1,1,1-triacetoxy-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one are added to a solution of 100 mg (207 μmol) of rac-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-{hydroxy[4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]methyl}-7-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one (Example 21A) in 4.5 ml of dichloromethane, and the mixture is stirred at this temperature for 4 h. The mixture is then diluted with dichloromethane and washed three times with 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 20:1).
