Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.15 g (0.22 mmol) (1R,2R)—N-[6-(2-benzyloxy-cyclopentylamino)-4-(2-chloro-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-2-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-N-methyl-isobutyramide in 2 ml dichloromethane were added 0.87 ml (0.87 mmol) of a 1 M boron trichloride solution in dichloromethane at room temperature. After 2 h the reaction was quenched by addition of 2 ml of a 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. Neutralisation with 1 M aqueous NaOH solution was followed by extraction with 3 portions of tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography gave 60 mg (46%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
