Reaction Steps

A solution of N′-((2R,3S)-3-(tert-butyldimethyl-silyloxy)-2-(4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylamino)butanoyl)-4-cyanobenzohydrazide (1.05 g, 1.92 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (40 mL) was added to a pre-cooled (0° C.) mixture of PPh3 (1.01 g, 3.85 mmol), iodine (980 mg, 3.85 mmol) and Et3N (1.1 mL, 7.70 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, stirred for 30 min and quenched with sat. aq. sodium thiosulfate (200 mL). The solution was extracted with CH2Cl2 (150 mL). The organic extract was washed with sat. aq. sodium thiosulfate (100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a light brown solid, which was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (50% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide the title compound as a light yellow oil (900 mg, 89%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6, δ in ppm) 8.22 (dm, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 8.02 (dm, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.72 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.17 (dd, J=2.3, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.75 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 5.36 (dd, J=3.3, 9.4 Hz, 1H), 4.73 (dq, J=3.1, 6.1 Hz, 1H), 1.45 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 3H), 0.78 (s, 9H), 0.07 (s, 3H), −0.13 (s, 3H
