Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-((R)-2-Allyl-5-cyclohexyl-3-oxo-morpholin-4-yl)-5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (120 mg, 0.27 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (1.0 mL) at −78° C. was added LDA (0.16 mL, 2.0 M in THF, 0.32 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and the resulting solution was stirred at −78° C. for 20 minutes. To the solution was then added methyliodide (192 mg, 1.35 mmol, 5.0 equiv). The solution was warmed to room temperature and the stirred at this temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was quenched by addition of sat. aq. NH4Cl solution. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, EtOAc/heptane 25% to give product 3-((2S,5R)-2-Allyl-5-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-3-oxo-morpholin-4-yl)-5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 18 mg and product 3-((2R,5R)-2-Allyl-5-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-3-oxo-morpholin-4-yl)-5-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 50 mg.
