Reaction Steps

A solution of LiBH4 (1.018 mL, 2M) in THF was added dropwise to a solution of methyl 2-bromo-5-(N-(5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)benzofuran-6-yl)methylsulfonamido)-3-fluorobenzoate (430 mg, 0.679 mmol) in MeOH (0.5 mL) and THF (5.0 mL) at 0° C. After 0.5 h, citric acid (4.0 mL, 5% wt) was added to the mixture. The organic solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with DCM (10 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give 6-(N-(4-bromo-3-fluoro-5-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)methylsulfonamido)-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methylbenzofuran-3-carboxamide (400 mg, 97% yield) as white solid. The crude was used for next step without more purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 0.57 (br. s., 1H), 0.71-0.88 (m, 2H), 0.93-1.06 (m, 1H), 1.96-2.02 (m, 1H), 2.63 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 1H), 2.96 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 3H), 3.25 (s, 3H), 4.67 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 5.96 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 1H), 7.08-7.21 (m, 3H), 7.31 (s, 1H), 7.42 (s, 1H), 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.82 (dd, J=8.7, 5.3 Hz, 2H). LCMS (m/z, ES+)=605, 607 (M+H+).
