Reaction Steps

The racemic sulfoxide 5-[({1-[3-(1-methylethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-4-piperidinyl}methyl)oxy]-2-[4-(methylsulfinyl)phenyl]pyridine (prepared as in Example 171, 290 mg) was subjected to Chiral HPLC [column: Chiralcel OJ-H, column mobile phase: 80% CO2: 20% (80% MeOH: 20% CHCl3) (2 mL/min), pressure 140 bar, temperature 30° C., 254 nm] analysis and then separation to give two (R and S) enantiomers. The title compound (28 mg) was isolated a tan solid with Tr of 12.11 min (second eluting peak). The (S) absolute stereochemistry was assigned by Ab initio VCD analysis.
