Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-[5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-isoxazolyl]-N-[2-(methylthio)ethyl]-1-naphthalenecarboxamide (i.e. the title product of Step A) (100 mg) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added MCPBA (47 mg, 70%) at −78° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78 to −70° C. for 2.5 h, then quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate, extracted with dichloromethane, washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, and concentrated to afford the title compound as a white solid (102 mg, 99% yield).
