Boron tribromide → m-(Trifluoromethyl)benzamide

To a solution of (R)-4-fluoro-N-(1-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)-2-phenylethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide, prepared as described in Procedure 3, 59a-f, 6 and 7, (2.8 g, 4.43 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (15 mL) was added BBr3 (12 mL, 12 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and quenched by addition of ice. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with sat. NaHCO3, sat. NaCl, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford (R)-4-fluoro-N-(1-(4-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2)-tetrafluoro ethoxy)phenyl)-2-phenylethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (Example 264) as clear oil (2.9 g, 100% yield). LCMS: RT=4.176 min [M+H] 632.2 (4 min Phenomenex Luna C18 column, 4.6×50 mm eluting with 10-90% MeOH/H2O over 4 minutes containing 0.1% TFA; 4 mL/min, monitoring at 220 nm).
