Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of HCl in dioxane (4.0 M, 10 mL) was added to a solution of (+/−)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-(4′-nitrobiphenyl-4-yl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide (700 mg, 1.47 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was warmed to room temperature as the ice bath expired. After 4 hours the reaction was concentrated. Purification on silica by flash column chromatography (DCM/MeOH 99:1-95:5) afforded the title compound as a yellow solid (500 mg, 87%).
