Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-methyl 4-(2-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamido)-2-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)ethyl)benzoate prepared as described in Procedure 96, 97, 98, 56 and 57 (29 mg, 0.039 mmol) in THF at −78° C. was added a solution of lithium triethylborohydride (1.0 M in THF, 0.5 mL, 0.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of 1 N NaOH (1 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (15 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by ISCO (12 g silica gel column, 0-50% EtOAc/hexane over min) to yield (R)-4-fluoro-N-(1-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-(3-fluoro-5-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl)-2-(4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (Example 299) as a colorless film (22 mg, 79% yield). LCMS: RT=2.10 min [M+H] 714.31 (Phenomenex Luna C18 4.6×30 mm column, eluting with 10-90% MeOH/H2O containing 0.1% TFA, 2 min gradient, flow rate 5 mL/min, wavelength 220 nm); HPLC: RT=4.0 min (Phenomenex Luna C18 4.6×50 mm column, eluting with 10-90% MeOH/H2O containing 0.2% PPA, flow rate 4 mL/min, wavelength 220 nm); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.98-7.80 (1H, m), 7.85-7.89 (1H, m), 7.39-7.43 (3H, m), 7.31 (1H, t, J=9.23 Hz), 7.19-7.27 (1H, m), 6.99 (1H, d, J=8.79 Hz), 6.76-6.83 (5H, m), 5.89 (1H, t, J=53.0 Hz), 4.16 (1H, d, J=13.18 Hz), 4.02 (1H, d, J=13.18 Hz).
