Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2,6-difluoro-cyclohex-1-enyl)-3-[(trans-4-methoxy-cyclohexyl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester and 5-(2,3-Difluoro-cyclohex-1-enyl)-3-[(trans-4-methoxy-cyclohexyl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (83 mg, 0.16 mmol) in THF:H2O:MeOH (3:1:2) (2 mL), was added LiOH in water (1N) (0.5 mL, 0.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 5 h. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator and the residue was treated with a solution of 0.1 N HCl and extracted in EtOAc. The EtOAc layer was dried over Na2SO4. Filtration and removal of the solvent under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator followed by HPLC purification afforded 5-(2,6-difluoro-cyclohex-1-enyl)-3-[(trans-4-methoxy-cyclohexyl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (3 mg) and 5-(2,3-difluoro-cyclohex-1-enyl)-3-[(trans-4-methoxy-cyclohexyl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (3 mg) in overall 8% isolated yield.
