Sodium Sulfite → HCID 69075646, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 69 mg of the t-butyl 4-((2R)-2-((1R)-3,3-difluorocyclopentyl)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-vinylphenyl)ethanoyloxy)-tetrahydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate as obtained in Referential Example 56 in 2 ml of tetrahydrofuran-water (1:1), 85 mg of sodium periodide and 0.1 ml of 2% osmium tetraoxide were added at 0° C., followed by an hour's stirring at the same temperature. Adding sodium sulfite to the reaction liquid, stirring was continued for further 30 minutes. The reaction liquid was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Distilling the solvent off under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in 1 ml of methanol. To the solution 10 mg of sodium borohydride was added, stirred for 10 minutes and acetone was added. The reaction liquid was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Distilling the solvent off under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was purified on preparative thin layer chromatography (Kieselgel™ 60F254, Art 5744 (Merck), hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1) to provide 42 mg of the title compound as a colorless oily substance.
