Reaction Steps

(1S,6S)-4,6-Dimethyl-cyclohex-3-ene-carboxylic acid [5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-thiophen-3-yl]-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amide (2.0 g, 4.9 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was treated with sodium borohydride (230 mg, 6.0 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 30 min, 4M HCl (6 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was twice extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers washed with saturated NaHCO3 (aq), brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography (20-60% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave the desired (1S,6S)-4,6-dimethyl-cyclohex-3-ene-carboxylic acid [5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-thiophen-3-yl]-(trans-4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-amide (1.74 g, 4.2 mmol).
