Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-cyclohex-2-enyl-3-[(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (40 mg) and MeOH (3 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added NaBH4 (15 mg) in one portion. Reaction was complete in 5 min. HCl (0.1 N, 0.5 mL) was added until it was acidic. It was evaporated and then extracted with DCM, washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The crude was purified by chromatography over silica gel (hexane:EtOAc—1:1 as eluent) yielding pure 5-Cyclohex-2-enyl-3-[(trans-4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (12 mg, 26%) in two steps.
