Reaction Steps

A solution of 220 mg (0.54 mmol) N-[(3-fluorophenyl)-methyl]-2-(methoxymethyl)-4-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid amide (Example 15) in DCM (5 ml) was cooled to −78° C. and 5.4 ml (5.4 mmol, 2M in DCM) boron tribromide was added. After heating to 0° C., the mixture was stirred for 16 h at this temperature. Quenching was then carried out with a 1M aq. NaHCO3 sol. (15 ml) and a 10%-strength aq. Na2S2O3 sol. It was then diluted with MeOH and DCM and the organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in a vacuum. After CC (EtOAc/hexane 1:1→EtOAc/DCM 1:1) of the residue, 110 mg (0.28 mmol, 52%) N-[(3-fluorophenyl)-methyl]-2-(hydroxy-methyl)-4-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid amide (example 17) was obtained. MS: m/z 393.1 [M+H]+.
