Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-{(1R)-1-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-4-cyclohexylbutyl}-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylate (Preparation 62) (1.58 g, 4.01 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (25 ml) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (7 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 4 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue azeotroped from dichloromethane to afford the title compound (1.66 g).
