Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[(1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexa-necarbonyl)-amino]-5-(1-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexyl)-thiophene-2-carbo-xylic acid methyl ester (14.4 g, previous step) in dry toluene (50 mL) at room temperature was added trifluoroacetic acid (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 90 min. Water (1.28 g, 71.1 mmol) was added to the mixture and stirred for 90 min. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness, extracted with EtOAc and washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to obtain crude 5-(4,4-dimethyl-cyclohex-1-enyl)-3-[(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (13.3 g) which was used for the next step without any purification.
