Reaction Steps

The stereoisomer of methyl 2-(3-cyclohexyl-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(pyrazine-2-carboxamido)propan-2-ylamino)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate designated as 7A1-isomer A (107 mgm), and potassium trimethylsilanolate (124 mgm, 4 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (2.5 mL) were heated to 140° C. in a microwave apparatus for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed successively with 1N hydrochloric acid, water, brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation to dryness under reduced pressure gave crude 2-(3-cyclohexyl-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(pyrazine-2-carboxamido)propan-2-ylamino)-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid (8), designated as 8A1-isomer A.
