Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-((4S,5S)-1-(4-((1-(2-fluoro-5-hydroxyphenyl)piperidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetate: To a solution of EtOH (0.86 mL) was added acetyl chloride (0.18 mL, 2.6 mmol) to generate anhydrous HCl. After addition, the mixture was warmed to room temp, and 2-((4S,5S)-1-(4-((1-(2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)piperidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)-4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetic acid (Example 1, 0.044 g, 0.086 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at rt for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (0.6 mL) and was cooled to −78° C., and BBr3 (0.8 mL, 8.46 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h, and was warmed to −40° C. overnight. The reaction solution was poured over ice and, after 30 min agitation, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 85 mg of a yellow oil that was purified via silica chromatography to give 25 mg of desired product as a clear oil. Anal. Calc'd for C26H29F4N3O4: 523.21, LCMS obs. [M+H]=524.1.
