Reaction Steps

A 1M solution of boron tribromide in DCM (3.7 ml) was added to a solution of 5-[2-(2-chloro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-propyl]-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one (300 mg) in DCM (10 ml). at −65° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and then stirred for 4 h. MeOH (1.4 ml) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution were added and stirred for 30 min. The mixture was extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to an oil. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 30 to 100% EtOAc/heptane) to give the title compound (259 mg) as a light yellow oil. MS (m/e)=415.3 [M+H+].
