Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.0 M solution of oxalyl chloride in CH2Cl2 (162 μL, 0.323 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) was diluted with CH2Cl2 and then chilled to −78° C. To this solution was added DMSO (45.9 μL, 0.647 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 min, and then a solution of 1-(((2S)-4-(2-thiophenylsulfonyl)-1-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl)-2-piperazinyl)methyl)-4-piperidinol (115 mg, 0.216 mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added to slowly to the mixture. The reaction was stirred for 1 h at −78° C. and then triethylamine (150 μl, 1.078 mmol) was added. Afterwards, the mixture was stirred for 15 min and allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and stirred for additional 4 h. Saturated aqueous NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was concentrated. The crude material was absorbed onto silica gel and purified via column chromatography (40 g silica gel, 0 to 10% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to give 1-(((2S)-4-(2-thiophenylsulfonyl)-1-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl)-2-piperazinyl)methyl)-4-piperidinone (40 mg) as a mixture of two isomers.
